How to get vegetables delivered to your houseFrom: foofoo (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 26 Nov 2000 21:41:55 -0600 (CST)
Hi Vanessa! Here's a long answer to your question. There are lots of very small organic vegetable growers, who have learned that its way easier to sell their special products via a home delivery distribution system than to go through the huge grocery megachains. The one that I use in my area is called Small Potatoes, and they deliver on the lower west coast of British Columbia. Every week they take away my old veggie bin and give me a new one, all stocked up. Organic or not, this sounds great to me becuase I'm too lazy to lug around so many vegetables. No only that I have no choice but to eat them up every week or they'll go bad, so I eat lots!!! of seasonal veggies. It's great for poor discipline people like myself. There are numerous other companies in B.C. alone, and they are on the internet. In your area search for "city" or "state", "home delivery", "organic vegetable". You don't nescessarily have to be living right in a big city, although from my experience that's where these companies are headquartered. If you live in a more rural area or can't find any such service on the internet, you can go down to your local tourist advice office and try to find some brochures with local farm attractions and things. Sometimes well-known produce stands are an HQ for a lot of local growers, and there might be something on the bulletin board. If you live in a really little town, just asking around might help you find someone who can deliver fresh eggs and milk every week. All these farmers have to somehow get their stuff to you, so they're out there! The best advive I can give is to ask the veggie experts in your area. The people who seem to know the most about this stuff are the "Vegans" (of which I'm not). People with Vegan philosophy seem to be setting these delivery things up, so they tend to be truly plugged into what's out there, and what's good. If you've heard of any vegan or vegetarian organizations in your area, quiz them about home delivery services. Also, sometimes you can get a referral coupon and save on "bin" deposits and things, so it's good to ask around certain circles. P.S. Vegans also have some of the greatest recipies, like what to do with spaghetti squashes. The organic vegetables cost just a tad more than non-organic, but it is so convenient not to go to the store that you won't care. Also you'll save money if you already buy organic produce. Often they have a catalogue of other products you can buy, usually things that are not mainstream. If you are lactose intorerant for instance, this is great because you can order dairy alternatives.
