I ordered from an organic farm near where I live

[Monique1]

They delivered organic veggies today for $28.00 for 1-2 people. I received the most beautiful bunches of crispy fresh spinach, not flat leaf spinach but actual spinach I remember as a kid. I actually had to wash it over and over. Also received 2 vine ripe tomatoes, a huge head of leaf lettuce ( had to do the same type of cleaning - but crispy, collard greens, 8 potatoes, bag of organic carrots, 3 zucchini's, brocolli and couple of onions. They delivered the box to my door (I'm elderly and live on the second floor) so I thought that was a bonus for me. They had the veggies packed in a nice box, veggies were wrapped in plastic with an ice pak included. When the next order comes, I return the plastic, ice pack and box - they will either reuse the items or recycle it or use and composite. With the heat here and being older on the second floor I thought this was a great deal and everything is used again in some manner. All veggies are organic. They also give you the names of the farmers where they receive their veggies/fruit from and their links.

The veggies are fresh looking and organic. I am going to order again. Maybe next time I will also order their fruit box.

We have a place that will also deliver meats and my other shopping that will deliver is Safeway for a minimal fee. I am just not going to run around anymore to shop - this way I buy only what I need and plan around what I order.

I am going to try this to see if I save any money. I will save on gas and the wear and tear on my car for sure. Plus, the wear and tear on me going out in this heat.

What do you all think?

I also have a place that delivers fresh dried beans, salsa, spices to me also and other items. Their pinto beans - are soooooooo good. They taste so different from the dried beans you buy in the market. These dried beans are fresh and have not been processed.

I'm finding shopping on line is the way to go. It is not about not paying sales tax but so very convenient.

1. I also need to mention

the beans and spices etc - you can buy all you want from them, they will only charge you $5.00 for delivery. I sent my sister in Maryland many things from them - $5.00 delivery and I am from heat state Az. Their customer service is fantastic. They go out of the way to satisfy their customers.

2. I'm so glad

that you're getting some really good stuff and not have to run yourself around for it all in that heat. :hug:

3. I tried a similar service, but $ more important to me than convenience, which is real.

Excellent if you can use what they deliver, and can tailor your orders to what you can/will use.

4. "What do you all think?"

I think you having the grocery shopping heaven on earth and I am very happy for you!

We have a fairly old-fashioned on-line experience because of where we live. I type up the list and fax it in and then we pick it up. Town is 25 miles away. So we make do.

I also shop www.schwans.com and www.omahasteaks.com

5. just like great grandma did!

It has been about a century since the woman of the house ordered home deliveries from the various vendors. She would ring up the grocer to say what she needed, and it would be delivered the same day, on credit.

Everything old is new again.

6. Sounds like a wonderful service.

Nice that they take care of the recycling for you too. :)

8. I ordered the fruit/veggie combo box and it was wonderful. I

baked the nectarines and plums to put on top of my lemon pound cake and the cantaloupe and pears are ripening. I thought we'd have trouble finishing everything in a week, but most everything is cooked or eaten already & it's only 4 days!

9. sounds like you have a great deal going there!

Organic is such a plus~lot's of stuff in print now on how organic veggies and fruit have to 'work harder' so to speak, to survive, so the nutritional level is higher.

I say go for it again!

My CSA has this really cool system now: They have a large walk in cooler. You go out, check the chalk board for what is in the cooler, and decide what you want to have to fill up your box. So if you aren't partial to something, you don't have to take that, but maybe a little more of something else. I have now gotten a food dehydrator to put up some veggies (I gave away a lot of my canning stuff, unfortunately) and am so far happy with the results.

I'd go crazy for your beans and salsa deliveries!!!
