green earth organics

green earth organics logowe have been avoiding trips to the grocery store for weeks now, which has resulted in far too many trips to local restaurants and lackluster lunches at work. so, after a recommendation from a friend, crystal and i decided to sign up for home delivery of organic fruits, veggies and other organic foods from green earth organics.  every week, they create a basket of fruits and vegetables, choosing local produce whenever possible. clients then have a chance to customize their box (individual, regular or family) by substituting up to 4 items before their order is delivered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

we received our first order last night and so far have been extremely impressed. the delivery was on time, without hassle and the quality of the produce has been excellent. i also really enjoy the fact that we don’t pick what goes into our box and that the resulting variety can bring a new surprise and challenge every week.

with our continued commitment to reducing our impact on the environment, eating organic, having a delivery service come to us (and others on the route), and not a single shred of plastic in our order is a great way to do this. it also means that we have more free time to hit up the local stores by foot for the rest of our grocery order, which is great for local merchants and stimulates the economy in our neighbourhood.

    I was intrigued by the purple hash brown recipe, but we traded our potatoes for fava beans and chianti

  5. mmm…fava beans and chianti…goes great with liver ;)

    I wonder if they have local pickup as an alternative to deliver?

  6. vince, i don’t know if they offer pick up, i never looked for that option.
