I was at a Jazz festival in downtown Burlingame a few months ago, and between buying jewelry I don’t need and stuffing my face with festival food, I walked by a stand called “Farm Fresh To You”, which was promoting a delivery service that brings a random assortment of local/organic/seasonal produce to your doorstep, at a reasonable price. I wanted to hug the poor guy holding the clipboard, shake him and scream, “where have you been my whole life?!”.
I mean, really, this is perfect for me – I cook almost every night, rarely eat meat or processed food (I eat like a fat rabbit), and I can’t afford organic food. I’ve heard of similar services in San Francisco but it would have been a hassle to get my groceries there, since I don’t live there. And $10 off the first box? I grabbed his pen and signed myself up.
So far, the experience couldn’t have been better. For $23, I receive a small mixed fruit and veggie box every four weeks (there’s different plans, but this is all I can do for now). I actually really, really look forward to getting my veggie box in the mail. The night before I know when it’s coming, I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s like Christmas, every month. I try hard not to look on their website to see what’s going to arrive, but I usually end up ruining the surprise anyway. (“A pound and a half of heirloom tomatoes?! YESSS!”)
So before I talk more about their service (and awesome website), I’m going to show you what it’s like to get a surprise fruit and veggie box delivery. I’m going to unpack everything in order for you guys. Hold on to your seat. This is exciting stuff. Are you ready? Ok.
