Ever since my CSA ended back in December, I have been a little depressed about the fact that I a) actually have to go to the store and buy my produce instead of being surprised and b) I don’t have my plethora of vegetables growing in my garden at the moment.
Earlier this week, I received a box of organic produce courtesy of Door to Door Organics. They gave me a gift certificate to use for one of their “Itty Bitty Boxes” a while ago, but due to my CSA this fall, holidays, and traveling, I didn’t have the opportunity to use it until this past week.
Door to Door Organics is an awesome set up – it runs out of a few different cities/states: Colorado, Chicago, Kansas City, and Michigan. Door to Door Organics partners up with organic farmers so fresh produce can be delivered to their customers. When signing up, you choose your city and then decide what kind of box you want – a fruit, a veggie, or a mixed. Then, you also choose your size – a Bitty, a Small or a Medium. For the sake of my gift certificate, I was given a Bitty Box – however, for a two person family with one being a vegetarian, I would definitely choose a larger share to receive on a regular basis.
After choosing your share, there is an option of receiving produce weekly or bi-weekly, which I think is a really great option – some people plow through veggies, while others take a while longer to eat through it. The last step is to type in your zip code, and they tell you exactly what day of the week your box will be delivered! That is one really big “pro” to Door to Door Organics. Although I love my CSA, it was such a pain to go and pick up the box each week. I also didn’t have the option of picking and choosing what kind of produce I wanted with my CSA, which is something Door to Door Organics offers.
A Bitty Box, which retails at $26.99 included all of the following produce.
Not the best deal in my opinion (since I go through so many fruits and vegetables), but if you’re looking for convenience, Door to Door definitely brings that!
I’ve already plowed my way through the bananas, the apples, both the yams and half the pepper in a matter of two days. I will say one thing though – the produce is really great. I am always worried that when I don’t pick my own produce it will end up being bad. However, the apples are crisp, the yams were delicious, and I have not had a sweeter red pepper in a long time.
If you would like to try out Door to Door Organics, they have set up the code “cleaneating” for all my readers to get $10 off your first order!
