Wishbone Farms: Meal Delivery Review

Wishbone Farms: Meal Delivery Review

As an always on the go New Yorker with multiple side hustles and access to doordash, nutrition is sometimes the least of my concerns. Enter Wishbone Farms, an organic, farm-to-table meal delivery service based out of the Lower East Side. Created by a brother & sister team in Southampton, NY, Wishbone delivers healthy and interesting meals right to your doorstep, saving you the energy of meal planning, prepping, and grocery shopping. It’s perfect for someone like me, who cares about being healthy, but doesn’t want to sacrifice taste or time. Sound familiar? To see if the concept is really worth it, though, we tried Wishbone out for a week to see if it’s something we could commit to. 

Part I: The Menu 

The food options for Wishbone range between Italian, American, and Mediterranean, with an occasional Asian or Latino-inspired option. This was my order for the week: 

Eggplant & Mushroom Meatballs
Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla 
Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots
Miso Tahini Cauliflower
Sesame Noodles with Chicken
Grilled Chicken Parmesan 
Egg Salad 
Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard 
S'mores Bars 

I tried to order something from each of the cuisines they provide while also covering every meal, including dessert! On another note, I love that there are some unique flavor combos going on--that’s definitely a must when you’re feeding New Yorkers, who have access to practically every food in the world.

Eggplant mushroom meatballs and miso tahini cauliflower.

Part II: The Review: 

First off, I loved the packaging! The tote bags they come in are super cute and reusable so +1 so being environmentally conscious. The portion sizes are also HUGE--1 order is supposed to feed 2-3, so as a single person, but honestly I think they could be stretched to five, especially if you have kids. As a single person, it took me almost 2 weeks to work through everything (another plus, in my book).

Now onto the tasting! 

Eggplant & Mushroom Meatballs: 

These had really great flavor and they’re an easy way to get extra veggies in! The only reason they’re not a 10 is because I didn’t find myself craving it throughout the week like I did with some of the other items. 9/10

Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla: Good! I personally prefer a more tangy quesadilla but I can see kids especially loving this. 7/10 

Honey Roasted Rainbow Carrots: These were amazing! My only issue is that I wasn’t quite sure what the best way to reheat them was so I popped them into the airfryer at 350 for 10 minutes and just hoped for the best. Some of them came out AMAZING that way but some other ones were a bit chewier. So minus 1 point for consistency but still a really good side. 9/10

Miso Tahini Cauliflower:
Pretty much the same as the above--some pieces were SO good but then other pieces were a bit harder to chew on and I’m not sure if that was a reheating issue on my end. But still delish! 9/10 
Sesame Noodles with Chicken:
I honestly did not have high expectations for this but was blown away! Not sure how authentic it is but I had to stop myself from eating  both servings in one go and would definitely order again. 10/10

Grilled Chicken Parmesan: 
Very solid! 7/10

Egg Salad:
Also very solid! 7/10

Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard:
I know it’s almost impossible to go wrong with chicken fingers, but these were exceptionally good! Super thick and juicy and the honey mustard was truly the best I’ve ever had, I would easily buy a bottle of this if they sold it.  10/10

S'mores Bars: As a huge sweet tooth, this is what I was most excited for and they did NOT disappoint. I need a constant supply of these to be happy from now on I think, truly a must eat before you die. 10/10

Smore's Bar!

Verdict: DO IT!
Wishbone Farm meals made my life SO much easier, and I loved actually enjoying my food every time and not just eating things I concocted after seeing what was leftover in my fridge. If I have one criticism it’s that I’d love some general reheating instructions, but I’m also pretty sure anyone who is capable of ordering food online can also figure out how to reheat these. Overall, highly recommended on accounts of taste, convenience, and
