Batch Nashville Subscription Box Review - November 2013

Batch Nashville is a new local subscription box that sends you handcrafted goods from Tennessee each month.

I really love the new local subscription box trend, so I decided to sign up for a 3-month subscription.

(I also took a lot of pictures since this is my first review of the subscription). I am definitely impressed with their packaging!

Each box comes with a card detailing the items selected for that month.

Batch "Thanks Y'all" Hand Towel - Value $5?

Since this is a Batch Nashville exclusive, I'm guessing on the value of this towel.

Southern Delights by Oakley Sweet Spicy Pickles - Value $6?

Gracey's Gourmet Cookies - Value $6.50

I couldn't find these pickles for sale online either, so I'm guessing again on the value. I also have never tried sweet pickles - I'm excited to give these a go!

Faye's Cake Pops - Value $5

Soberdough - Value $6.75

This "brew bread" mix requires one bottle of beer to make a loaf of beer bread! I'm thinking I may pair it with a 6-pack of beer for a fun gift this holiday season!

Verdict: I paid $30 for this box. ($25 plus $5 shipping). I signed up for a 3 month subscription a while ago, so I think the pricing changed a little since then. According to my estimates this box has a value of about $30, so I'm happy with that aspect of the box. Since I can't find some of these items to buy online, I guess that's another value of the box - you can get southern items you otherwise wouldn't be able to get without going to Tennessee!

I'm excited to see what will be in the December and January boxes I signed up for. (Batch Nashville isn't a traditional monthly subscription - you sign up for 3-month subscriptions).

What do you think of Batch Nashville?

Oy! I had such high hopes. I just wasn’t impressed. I waited six weeks for delivery and ended up missing October’s box which I thought rocked.

The baked goods in this box were tiny and not very flavorful. The cookies were date marked as being two weeks old and the flavor profile proved it. I don’t even want to talk about the cake pops with the purple frosting…
I haven’t tried the bread, I will steal your idea and gift it with beer. I was going to gift this to my in-laws for Christmas but after this box,
I think I will keep looking….Which makes me sad, I love Tennessee.

Oh no – I haven’t tried any of the baked goods since I can’t eat gluten. I was planning on sharing them with a friend. I’m glad I read your comment though, I will not be giving them stale food!

Hi Liz. Thanks for posting the review. We appreciate it.

And I wouldn’t worry about the cookies being stale — I just ate one and it’s moist and tasty (obviously a slightly biased opinion, but definitely not stale). They are packed in saran wrap and an outer plastic sheath and though they were from a batch baked on 10/17 they have a good shelf life.

Thanks again,
Stephen

Hi Chelsea. I’m so sorry your experience with the Comfort Food Batch was less than ideal. Since you missed out on the October Batch, could I send you a modified “After Dinner Delights” Batch to make it up to you?

If so, message us on Facebook (http://facebook.com/batchnashville) and we’ll arrange for a mea culpa gift.

Best,
Stephen
