Organic Food Delivery Services
Organic food delivery services are a great marketing method in dense communities. They offer convenience, specialized skills in selecting quality and diverse selection, and make it a habit to buy organic!
My family buys a weekly box of organic fruit and vegetables from a local organic delivery service. This small business is run locally, and buys its produce from local suppliers when possible...and from local organic wholesalers who supplement their stock with both regional and international organic produce.
I've noticed that some of the pieces of fruit and veggie are seconds -- in that their size, shape and color aren't premium, uniform and spit polished :-) ... but they are invariable delicious, well seasoned (as in not too green nor too ripe)...and the price is better than I can get in the grocery store.
And I save the shopping time and gasoline in my car to go buy them myself.
We've saved money by not having to go shopping as often, and the quality of our meals has improved because I just didn't have organic selection available at our nearby grocery stores.
You might try it...search Google or Yahoo, etc. for +organic +delivery and your city.
You might be lucky enough to find a CSA -- a community supported agriculture supplier in your community. That's even better in the areas of freshness and local farmer support! But I live in the heart of Los Angeles, and the closest CSA is probably close to 100 miles of urban sprawl away from us!
Bon appetit!
