Door to Door Organics delivered a local farm share box to my door a couple weeks ago, and, though I have not yet signed up for their grocery delivery service, they’ve been on my mind lately as I’ve been incredibly busy. Being busy means it is sometimes a hassle for me to get to Whole Foods or the farmers’ market, so coming home to a box of food sounds like a great idea. Especially a farm share box filled with locally grown organic produce.
The box I tried was filled with lettuce, cabbage, collard greens, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant, garlic, and green onions. Door to Door Organics picked it all out for me, but, if you sign up for their service, you get to substitute up to five items per order. So, if you don’t like collard greens, swap them out for carrots. But, I must warn you… collard greens, when cooked correctly, are delicately delicious. I found this out thanks to Door to Door Organics because I had never actually bought collard greens before, and having them delivered to my doorstep made me get a little creative in the kitchen, which is always fun.
Door to Door Organics isn’t just produce- you can order meats and freshly baked breads, too, as well as a variety of other products through the Door to Door Market. You can also skip a delivery if you’re away, and cancel any time. You’re not tied in to a lifetime of deliveries, though I do have some friends who have been hooked for a few years now. So, unlike a CSA where you pay for the entire farm share up front and then get whatever the farm grows, whether you’re in town to pick it up or not, Door to Door Organics offers a wider variety at a good price for a convenient service.
Door to Door Organics has a great website that helps you shop, plan meals, find recipes, and learn about local organic produce. So, I suggest you check it out. If you use the promo code “localtabletours” you’ll receive 40% off a bitty box. You can’t beat that!
