Relay Foods Bounty Box Review
So remember that bounty box I was talking about? Well it’s time I give you some details on it, because I’ve decided it’s pretty freaking sweet. What is a bounty box you ask? It’s a giant box filled with tons of local produce, whatever is in season, delivered to a convenient location for pick up.
If you haven’t heard of Relay Foods, they’re a service that basically does your grocery shopping for you. You fill up your cart online, and they pack it up, and then drop it off at a specified pick up location, which for me, is at my workplace.
Reasons why I love it:
- Um, hello convenience!
- I’ve realized it can save me money, by eliminating impluse purchases
- It also helps me with my meal planning (no more forgetting things!)
- They have groceries from all different places, so I don’t have to go to Ellwoods, Whole Foods and Kroger
Those are some of the reasons I love it, but I’m sure you’d have your own reasons.
Full disclosure: I received this bounty box for free, in exchange for a review. But all opinions are my own!
So for my first Relay Foods order, I got a “bounty box” of produce. It came filled with potatoes, turnips, a giant butternut squash, some other sort of squash, apples, and quail eggs. This is a “half share” which is about $40, and the pick up service is free.
All of the vegetables were fresh, and they’re from local farms, which is awesome! It was also fun getting an assortment of produce that I might not have tried otherwise. I mean, how else would I have decided to try making those turnip and potato cakes?
I’ve already placed another regular grocery order, and I’m shocked at how the prices are pretty compareable to the regular store, for most things. I’m really excited to not have to make a separate trip to the store.
Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to go use my giant butternut squash to make these amazing butternut squash fries…
Then I might use up the potatoes in this potato soup recipe and the apples to make these apple chips…
Now if you live in Virginia and want to try Relay Foods for yourself, I’ve got a little bonus for you!

Don’t be afraid to order produce, if you aren’t happy they will do everything they can to satisfy you. I love being able to go to Whole Foods and local farms without driving!

Considering I visit every possible grocery store, including the Asian market, regularly (and sometimes visit the same one twice in as many days), I imagine something like this would be a HUGE convenience for me. However, I do actually really like going to the grocery store, so there’s that…It is good to know that the prices are comparable!
I think that is a giant, oversized delicata! That is, I think, my favorite squash…I can’t tell though…does it have ridges?
I might just have to try the turnip and potato cakes – and I’ve never had quail eggs, I’d love to try them!
So I have to admit that I didn’t eat the quail eggs but my boyfriend did and he said “they had a stronger flavor than chicken eggs and the yolks were tougher and had more texture. And there was a higher egg white to yolk ratio” haha hopefully that helps explain them 😉
Love this. I haven’t pulled the trigger on a CSA because I do like the experience of going to the farmers market and picking out what I need/want.
How fun!!! I used to order from Peapod all the time when I lived in the city. Now that I live in the burbs and have like 4 grocery stores within a mile and a car I have no reason to-I miss it sometimes!!!
Haha I know what you mean! I think I almost live too close to the grocery store! I feel like I go there way too often!
