5 Reasons to Subscribe (That Have Nothing to Do with What's in the Box)

Sure, the food is amazing—but Tend & Table is about more than just what’s inside the box. It’s about rebuilding something that matters: our connection to food, farms, and each other.

If you’re thinking about joining, here are five powerful reasons to subscribe—none of which are fruits or vegetables.

1. You’re Supporting Over 100 Wisconsin Farms

This isn’t a national meal kit or big-box grocer. Your subscription directly funds small and midsize farms across Wisconsin—including many that lost major institutional contracts in 2024. You’re not just buying local—you’re helping restore local.

2. You’re Feeding More Than Just Your Family

A portion of every box funds fresh food donations to Wisconsin food pantries. That means your subscription helps neighbors across the state access healthy food they wouldn’t otherwise have.

3. You’re Making the Food System More Resilient

Tend & Table was created as a response to supply chain breakdowns. When you subscribe, you’re investing in a more sustainable, farmer-led model that keeps food closer to home and more affordable over time.

4. You’re Saving Time and Brainpower

Each week, your box arrives with the season’s best—no planning, no guesswork, and no scouring the store for decent produce. For busy families, it’s one less thing to stress over.

5. You’re Part of a Movement

Tend & Table isn’t just a service—it’s a community. When you join, you’re part of a statewide effort to rethink how we grow, share, and value food. And it starts with something as simple as what’s on your plate.

This is what local food should feel like: fresh, reliable, connected, and built for everyone.
And yes—the food is really good, too.
