ORGANIC PRODUCE DELIVERY

With the cost of transportation raising the prices of fruits and vegetables, now is a great time to consider sustainable growing choices. There are farms that grow organic right in your area that offer delivery to your home or available for pick-up. Prices range from $25.00 up, and a box usually last for up to two weeks. CSA, (community-supported agriculture) is easy to connect with in any area, as well as the local farmer's market. These choices are usually available for you to pick up yourself, saving another extra five bucks.

There are plenty of small web-site businesses that offer this service, and they are getting larger and fancier all the time. Some of the more stylized include, Boxedgreens.com, which delivers nationwide, from their Arizona home base. They offer overnight delivery service. Planetorganics.com, which is bonded to handle house keys, which means when your not even home your fruits and veggies are! Spud.com is really fancy, like freshdirect.com in New York, they offer more than just fruits and vegetables. Here in Los Angeles there is lovedelivery.com, they get local fruits and vegetables, all organic, some from other countries, which I am told is how all of them operate. I have to admit this is some unwashed earthy organic produce. Hopefully, some strange spider from an exotic country doesn't crawl out of the box and turn my apartment closet into a scene from the movie Arachnaphobia.
