All available during our delicious brunch service, so you can do your shopping and grab a healthy and unique brunch all in one go.

An estimated 40 percent of what produce farmers grow, ends up in the garbage and more than 25 percent of our precious fresh water is consumed by the food we throw out. As San Franciscans we also like to eat out at least a few meals per week making Namu produce boxes the best option to cook half the week and eat out half the week. More variety of produce with less waste and less of a commitment to cooking all week is the highlight of the Namu produce box. We include recipes and an open dialogue with Chef Dennis Lee via email.

The boxes are available for pick-up during brunch from 10am-3p to people who preorder for $15/light box and $25/bountiful size box! We will have boxes available for “walk ins” for an additional $3/box, until supplies last. All produce is hand picked by Namu Chef Dennis Lee. This month all produce boxes come with a free Namu speciality item.
