About Urban Harvest
Urban Harvest started up in January of 2000, operating out of a rented garage space. We have kept our office home-based through the years, but we are currently operating out of our second warehouse space, at 806 Crowley Ave, in the North End industrial area of Kelowna.We work hard to make the choice to eat organic both convenient and affordable for our customers in the Central Okanagan area, and through our weekly newsletters and community involvement, we aim to contribute to a local food culture that celebrates healthy, joyful eating.
We are also deeply committed to being part of a more sustainable food system, and as such, we work closely with Okanagan farmers to ensure that we are able to buy as much of our produce as possible locally (our annual average is approximately 50%), thereby reducing the distance from field to table. Leftover produce that cannot be sold is donated to the Kelowna Food Bank each week, and culled or spoiled produce is composted and recycled back to the earth.
What to expect in your box each week?
Our Harvest Box changes weekly and seasonally, but you will always receive a balance of fruits and vegetables, including a mix of roots, greens, and other veggies. Produce is purchased as close to home as possible. In order to provide year-round quality and service, we will also purchase from suppliers distributing certified organic imported produce. Freshness and quality are guaranteed - if you ever receive items which are not to your satisfaction, we encourage you to contact us for a replacement item or credit!
We encourage you to customize your order as much as you like to ensure that you receive exactly what you need (and none of what you don’t need) in each order! That said, we also love to support you in choosing local items as much as possible, and when this means trying items that are new to you or not your usual favourites, our recipes and preparation suggestions can help to get you started!
