The Complete Hong Kong Fresh & Organic Produce Home Delivery Guide

We hear it time and time again: frustrated laments that there is nowhere to get premium quality, fresh produce delivery in Hong Kong. But the truth is, while we don’t have our own Whole Foods Market yet, the +852 is awash with quality fresh produce delivery companies. There are offerings from all over the world, with all kinds of produce featuring all kinds of organic labels (learn more about how to understand organic labels here). You can choose all kinds of varieties of fruit & veg, at all types of budget. You can go it a la carte or pick a more regular subscription box.

To some, where the produce comes from matters a great deal, and since we regularly get questions on this topic, we thought it best to create the ultimate fresh produce home delivery guide for busy Hong Kongers who don’t have time to see what’s in stock at their neighborhood supermarket or who can’t always make it to a weekend farmers’ market organized by geographical provenance to make it super easy to choose your favorite veggie terroir.
