Curated Artisan Ingredient Boxes

The Hatchery Delivers Unique Flavors to Your Doorstep Each Month

— April 22, 2014 — Lifestyle
The Hatchery is a subscription service that's all about providing foodies with a unique assortment of top notch ingredients each month.

Although finding food is often part of the adventure, the team that sources products to put inside of The Hatchery boxes visits local markets and family-owned farms, doing most of the footwork for you. The focus is on small batches and high quality and as The Hatchery describes, "Often times, the small-batch producers we partner with don't offer their products in sample sizes, so they actually produce exclusive smaller sizes just for our Tasting Boxes." For $25 a month, a curated Tasting Box full of five to six different artisan ingredients is delivered to doorsteps in a neat red box.
