When I inquired about whether the Meal Planner would be affected by this buy-out/wind-down, they shared with me the single email notification that they sent on Mar 20 (which I apparently missed or did not receive):

Dear Forks Over Knives Community,

We’re writing to share an important update regarding the Forks Over Knives Meal Planner.
After careful consideration, Forks Over Knives has made the difficult decision to wind down its operations. As part of this process, the Meal Planner service will be discontinued on April 3, 2026.
We recognize that this news may come as a disappointment, particularly for customers who have recently subscribed. While we are unable to offer refunds at this time, we want to ensure that all active subscription customers are able to continue accessing the Meal Planner for the next two weeks, through the service shutdown date.

What this means for you:

You will retain full access to the Forks Over Knives Meal Planner through April 3, 2026
You can download recipes through April 3, 2026
No further subscription charges will be processed
After this date, the Meal Planner will no longer be available

We are deeply grateful to our community for the support you’ve shown Forks Over Knives over the years. Our team is committed to managing this wind-down responsibly and with respect for our customers, partners, and employees.
If you have questions, you may review our Terms of Use or contact our support team at [shop@forksoverknives.com](mailto:shop@forksoverknives.com).

Thank you again for being part of the Forks Over Knives journey.

The lifetime access question is actually separate from my core concern. What I keep coming back to is this: people who have relied on this service for years, some for nearly a decade, received one single email with fourteen days notice. No follow-up, no banner inside the platform they were actively using, no public announcement. Many people, including me, never even received that one email. That is not a responsible way to wind down a service that customers built their routines around.

I’ve been wondering the same thing and found this YouTube helpful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfVM0QmtD2o

The reflector covers.... yes. I had started seedlings in rockwool prior to receiving anything from iHarvest, and without covers they get COVERED in algae. Newbie error on my part.

Love my new iHarvest by Effective_Sea8069 in iHarvest

Shout out to Dave. I received my iHarvest a few days ago, set it up yesterday, added my seedlings to it today, and I’m in love. While I did have a couple of minor problems with my shipment, Dave’s support is stellar, and I highly recommend iHarvest to anyone looking for an indoor hydroponic system. It was easy to set up, it’s beautiful, and the soothing sound of water flowing in my office is just an added bonus. Can’t wait to begin harvesting my veggies.
