Originally a delivery service for small farmers -- think bringing the farmers market to your door -- Good Eggs expanded rapidly in the last few years and got into the meal delivery business with Square. But Square’s chef merged with Munchery and Good Eggs had to scale way (way) back at the end of last year. That doesn’t mean you can’t still order lots of local food, including ready-to-make and nearly ready-to-make meals. Instead of a bounty of farm-fresh groceries, think packaged lunches, soups, salads, wraps, curries, pastas, and brioche.

App experience: The app boasts high-quality images of yuzu ponzu chicken salad, sous-vide steak and papaya salad, smoky chipotle ribs with collard greens (above) and other varied, healthy options, while an intuitive user experience allows you to easily scroll through ingredients and nutritional information. An order tracker helpfully reassures you the order is on the way if you get antsy during the 15-minute delivery time, which significantly beats the traditional takeout competition.

Oh, and next week we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming, as I — a little more mindfully, but no less enthusiastically — dip back into the world of dairy, gluten, grains and just a teeny bit of sugar.

What it’s all about: Order ready-to-eat, organic meals and products from local farms and food companies online. You can also sign up for a recurring weekly delivery service, family meal bundles, and curated boxes of local products. Price: Meals range from about $5 to $15. Sample item: Miso Kale Salad with Grilled Chicken: Kale, miso dressing, strawberries, sesame seeds, and grilled chicken ($7.00).

Sun Basket is the meal-kit delivery service for those who want to bring the farm-to-table movement right to their doorstep. Backed by Justine Kelly, the chef at the famous Slanted Door, meals are crafted based on local, all-organic ingredients. Weekly menus include dishes like pan-seared chicken, steak with chimichurri and sweet potatoes, and coconut curry tofu. From that menu, you can choose gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or Paleo options. You can even see some of the farmers the companies works with listed on its website. Plus, your package shows up with mostly recyclable materials and some reusable plastic containers.

Healthy factor: Sakara was created for the busy, stylish New York woman, and founders Whitney Tingle and Danielle DuBoise take pride in ensuring that each meal serves a healthful purpose. “We source the highest quality ingredients, ensuring not only that every food we work with is free of any harmful additives, but that they come packing an even higher nutrient density,” says Tingle. Ingredients, again, are whole-food, plant-based and “mostly” organic and local. Meals are free of gluten, dairy, eggs, meal, and seafood. And for those on the East Coast and Southern California, Sakara Life can accommodate up to three allergies for an additional fee.

Need to know: No, there’s nothing ancient about getting packaged food delivered, but who has the energy to cook after a crushing CrossFit session? Kettlebell Kitchen makes eating balanced, fresh, Paleo-centric meals—like grass-fed beef with sauteed kale—super easy by partnering with fitness spots like CrossFit boxes and UFC Gyms for pickups.

Major takeaway: In general, quality met expectations for a warm (not hot) meal, especially considering the $6 to $10 price point on most items, but the biggest issue is the slow sign-up process that starts the whole user experience on a negative note. And again ingredient sourcing is unclear.

Sourcing and sustainability: The app details calorie counts and alerts users if a dish has dairy or gluten in it, but specific ingredients and nutrition are not provided. When asked about their suppliers, a SpoonRocket representative stated, "SpoonRocket constantly seeks out the freshest, most flavorful ingredients with customers appetites in mind. SpoonRocket puts a priority on working with local Bay Area farms and farmers." However, they didn't respond to a request for a supplier list. SpoonRocket also says its packaging is compostable, but customers question the validity of this.

The food: Unlike the others on this list, flavorful meals like kimchi burgers, whole roasted chickens, and butternut squash curry can be scheduled ahead of time or ordered on-demand and come almost ready with easy-to-follow heating instructions for both the oven and microwave. Prices are on par with what you’d find in most grocery stores; for example, a whole roasted chicken costs $14 and serves two.

Farm Hill initially became famous for its bento box lunches (which, at the time, the founders cooked themselves before class back when they were in graduate school at Stanford). Their signature is that nothing is processed, and that they never add sugar or sweeteners—the resulting meals have a definite paleo vibe, with vegan and vegetarian options and a whole lot of kale. Meals can be ordered same-day via the app or their website. Startup folks, take note: Their corporate account allows companies to cover lunch for employees while letting each person pick their own meal. Clutch, considering that they deliver as far south as San Jose.

App experience: A Bento is advertised as $10 in the app, but when you factor in delivery fee, tax, and tip, the meal comes out to just under $18. It also took 54 minutes to have the food delivered to Nob Hill and more than 30 minutes to get the order confirmation text.

A high-end take on meal-kit delivery, Din drops off the ingredients and recipes you’ll need for restaurant-quality meals at home. Then, it’s only supposed to take 20 minutes for you to look like a brilliant cook when you serve up pumpkin risotto or coconut tilapia. Backed by chefs from high-end restaurants like Quince and with local restaurant partners, Din says its ingredients are sourced locally and recipes are tested to fine-tune the best quality. That means you’ll be able to make dishes from Bar Tartine... without having to actually go to Bar Tartine. Your box comes once a week with everything packaged inside (some of which can be recycled or returned). Make the food then or store it for a few days.

When the olive green burlap sack arrives with your reusable metal “tiffin” — a double-decker contraption holding lunch — it’s impossible not to imagine the origins of the food. It all feels very hippie-crunchy-commune. Still, the container is genius; it travels well, keeps food cold and, unlike its competitors, results in zero waste. A delivery person (on bike) will take the old one when the new one arrives, and if you’re done with the service they’ll come back to get it. The food, even if very vegan (there’s a whole lot of soy protein), boasts unique flavors and sauces. One day’s lunch, for example, included vegetable pad Thai with zucchini ribbons and spicy peanut sauce, and some kind of minced vegetable protein with long beans and makrut lime. There are people who will love this stuff. Not me, per se, but I can definitely see the appeal. Plans start at $10/meal. www.greentiffin.com

Hello Fresh is all about healthier options and cleaner versions of classic comfort foods.

Bento delivers what it sounds like: a sort of customized bento box, with your pick of a main dish and four sides. The food is Asian-inspired and prepared daily by chef Mattin Noblia — yes, from Top Chef Season 6. The company has made more than a few changes recently, though, adding compostable materials to its plentiful packaging earlier this year, then shutting down its on-demand app in the spring. But you can still order and have Bento delivered via Postmates within San Francisco and in certain parts of the East Bay.

Health factor: “We try to keep people healthy by relying on the only piece of dietary advice that absolutely every diet agrees upon: that vegetables are good for you and you should eat a lot of them,” says founder Uri Attia. According to Attia, all meats and produce are sourced from producers who grow their ingredients organically—no chemical pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, or hormones of any kind (although some ingredients from small farms aren’t USDA-certified)—and the company lists local farms it sources from on its website. Portable Chef has also received Slow Food NYC’s Snail of Approval for quality authenticity and sustainability.
