Green BEAN Delivery!!!!

Last week, Mark & I signed up for an Local & Organic Grocery Hone Delivery Service called "Green BEAN Delivery" (formerly "Farm Fresh Delivery.") I had been hemming and hawing about this for about a year trying to see if it would work out for us. We already do the CSA, get the local beef and local dairy products, but it seemed like this service offered all of that in one location AND comes right to the door. So we took the plunge thinking that if it doesn't pan out we can cancel pretty easily (no commitment.)

So I went to their website (which is super cool) picked a fruit & veggie bin for 2 people (Small), added Milk, Eggs, & Artisan Whole Wheat bread to my Standing Order. During the week I decided that we also needed chicken & ground turkey...so I added that to our week's order.

It arrived yesterday on our front porch by the time I came home from work in two big insulated bins.

Inside one of the bins were the groceries items: Snowville Creamery Milk, Red Sun Eggs, Scholars Inn Whole Wheat bread, Gunthrop Farms chicken breasts and ground turkey. Still very cold or frozen as intended...wrapped up in these cool freezer bag thingees.

In the other bin was the "Small Fruit & Veggie" items (the CSA part): Organic Fruit - Grapes, Oranges, Strawberries, and Apples. Organic Veggies - Corn, Collard Greens, Broccoli, Green pepper, Gigantic Beets, Sweet Potatoes, and (oh no) more Cherry Tomatoes.

The price you ask...Okay...it is expensive...BUT Organic Veggies and meat are expensive to begin with...but you get what you pay for. We got these two bins for $67.58 delivered to the door.

I am excited to try all the other great products that they offer. I also think this will actually save us money in the end. I can better budget & plan meals this way...since I have VAST amounts of internet time at work to fuss with this and I enjoy the fussing. So...basically...so far...I am impressed and excited to continue.
