Behind the Box: Art Perkins, Harvie’s Operations Assistant

Behind the Box is Harvie’s way of connecting you to the people behind your weekly grocery delivery.

Meet Art Perkins, an Operations Assistant at Harvie who’s been with the company since August of 2021. He got on board with Harvie through an employee he met at a cafe — as he says, “that meeting and conversation sparked my interest when I came across the job listing for Harvie. Bonus for all, that cafe owner is now a Harvie supplier. Small world!”

Stripetti Squash with a Sweet Italian Sausage Ragu.

This food delivery box is exceptional. The food is always delicious and sustainably harvested from local farms. The packaging is also sustainable and recyclable; a huge advantage. My family has increased our Harvie deliveries from bi-weekly to weekly. Highly recommend if you are looking for a way to help the environment!

LOVE Harvie and look forward to customizing and receiving my box each week. The quality is absolutely unbeatable and I really appreciate the convenience and ease of getting my groceries delivered. Sustainability is clearly important for the Harvie team, which has been one of my issues with other grocery delivery services. Support team is stellar and proactive about correcting any issues.

Harvie brings so much joy to my week! I love customizing my box ahead of time and seeing what new products are available. It has really helped me step up my meal prep game. Then when the box arrives, I love that I get to meet my delivery driver and thank them for the goodies. Unpacking is an event in itself - organizing the fridge with such beautiful products is so satisfying, and I always go right for the Pitaland grape leaves to snack on. I’m a big online shopper because there’s something magical about getting packages (especially during the pandemic) and this is a present built into every week!

Harvie has changed the way my family and I eat. The service is personalized, convenient, turnkey and offers the things I need on a weekly basis - all from local farmers and producers who I feel great about supporting. I also love that I can easily return my packaging (by leaving it on the front porch for pickup upon new deliveries) each week to be reused, and that sustainability is a key focus of this service. I would highly recommend using Harvie as your grocery delivery service.

I love this service. It's like an entire farmer's market coming to your door once a week, with so many vendors and choices and categories! The food is always fresh. The portions are generous. The choices vary, with special offers each week. Harvie Farms is a great program!
