Organic produce right to my door!

When biking home from work recently, I spotted a van with the words, "Organic products delivered to your home and office," printed on the side.

Since I am carless in LA, I use any opportunity for delivery. This was right up my alley, so I checked out the website provided, farmfreshtoyou.com.

They offer fresh produce delivered to your door at decent prices. I decided to try it out with the "Small LA" box to start. It's coming on Friday! According to the website, this is what I'm getting:

Monday 09/19/2011 - Friday 09/23/2011

Service: Small LA

(Weights are approximate)
plum_dappledandy.jpg 3 cnt Arvin Dapple Dandy Pluot

apple_gala.jpg 2 cnt Washington Gala Apple

grape_thompsonseedless.jpg 1 lb Arvin Thompson Seedless Grape

brocolli_bunched.jpg 1 cnt Santa Maria Bunched Broccoli

carrot_nates.jpg 1 bu Our Farm Nantes Carrot

arugula_bunched.jpg 1 bu Our Farm Bunched Arugula

bean_green.jpg 1 lb Watsonville Green Bean, fresh

pepper_gypsey.jpg .5 lb Our Farm Assorted Sweet Pepper


I hope I can eat all of it since I just went a little nuts at the Culver City Farmer's Market. My boss had an old juicer she didn't use and gave it to me this week, so I've been gathering up some juicing recipes, and now I'm stocked on apples, oranges, beets and carrots. I'd like to do a juice fast at some point. I'll be sure to report back on my delivery when it comes.

I watched Forks Over Knives this week as well, and it made me want to do a better job eating whole foods and leave out the processed stuff (especially since I have a weakness for Tofurky sandwiches). So far so good since I'm up to my ears in farm fresh produce this week. It's a fantastic documentary with a lot of data supporting that diseases can be controlled by eating a whole foods, plant-based diet. Dave and I discussed how we never want to be a slave to a slew of pills, and I'm so happy we're committing to veg(etari)anism in our twenties.

I'm off to make tonight's meal: Veganomicon's chickpea cutlets, mashed potatoes, and roasted broccoli.

Happy eating!
