Well, how about some more good?!
I love fresh produce but if it’s not organic, I don’t even bother (thanks dad, I’m finally listening). The closest grocery store to my home is a 5 minute walk and is attached to my neighborhood.
However, when it comes to buying fresh fruits and veggies, they don’t get my business.
(Wow, maybe I should include them in my next “bad” segment?)
Their organic section is comparable to the size of the smallest bathroom in my home.
And to top it off, it’s OUTRAGEOUSLY priced. I’m not talking ‘a little bit extra’ I mean double and sometimes triple the cost per item.
The Farmer’s Market in Zionsville doesn’t open until late May, so what’s a healthy person to do?
Well, until recently I was driving about five+ miles to Trader Joe’s. But now? I am hooked up with Farm Fresh Delivery (available in Indianapolis and Cincinnati). www.farmfreshdelivery.com
Every other week fresh organic produce is delivered right to my door at a reasonable price.
And if I want more frequent deliveries, I just let them know. What’s better than this? I get to pick what goes in my bin! The Monday before my Wednesday delivery I simply log in and update the contents of my bin. Everything from bananas, pineapple, and other fruits to fabulous shitake mushrooms await me! Usually I plan my week based on what will be in the bin. This week I’m anxiously awaiting the fresh basil for my Italian night. They also have the most beautiful organic spinach I’ve encountered yet and it is going to make some great morning shakes…
The Farm Fresh folks leave the closed bin in a shady place on my porch and drop in the early evening when it’s cool. They don’t just have produce, but that is mainly my reason for ordering as a vegan (they also have organic, grass-fed local meats). I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in locally grown to support groups like Farm Fresh Delivery.
If you don’t live in Indianapolis or Cincy, do a quick web search for key words like “organic food delivery” and your city name; countless opportunities await you, assuredly! We are supporting local, organic farmers AND putting the best in our bodies for a reasonable price. Who could ask for more? Oh, one thing I guess…great customer service. Theirs is also top notch-you get a live body on the phone immediately and they WANT to help you.
Here’s to the good,
