Thanks, Alexis. I’m glad it was helpful.

Agreed. Seeing and touching vegs, fruits before buying is important to a lot of people, especially if you can’t afford a delivery service anyway.

I’m convinced the delivery fee is way too high for these services and that only people who can’t get to an organic produce grocery store or a farmer’s market will use such services. The service I’m still trying out, again, at least offers me the chance to change my order if I don’t want the same vegs every time.

The problem we had was that for almost 6 weeks straight we kept getting the same 2-3 vegetables and 1-2 fruits. We got tired of eating them after the third week so the produce rotted the 4th week and we had to throw it out. The 5th week, we tried customizing the order for an additional fee but then we paid almost $40 for something we could have bought for about half as much.

One thing I liked about the weekly delivery was the included recipe list of what you can make with the vegetables. The first few weeks it was great because we got all the necessary ingredients in the delivery or we needed something extra that we had readily available. After that the recipes got a little more complex (remember, the same veggies were delivered and there are so many simple recipes I assume) so we needed to buy extra ingredients.

Though this service may work for some, it doesn’t work for us. Both my wife and I work next to grocery stores and there is a market on my way home so we can buy the same produce for less on our way home.
