Door to Door Organics: Wednesdays Are Still My Favorite Days

I wrote back in February about my new obsession with Door to Door Organics.

It's been about about five months since then, and I thought I'd write an update about our experiences. Changing seasons, changing harvests...a lot of things could have perceivably changed our perception on the service.

Well, we still LOVE it.

Wednesdays really are a joy to come home, because Peyton and I both love pulling in the driveway to my box waiting at home for us. We open the box together, we talk about what we got this week, and nine times out of ten, she is eating a piece of fruit within minutes of opening it.

Oh Door to Door Organics, how I love you so. Let me count the ways:

It gets my daughter excited about fruits and vegetables.

Speaking of my daughter, she can only bring fruits or vegetables to school for a snack (love her school!). I always have a fresh pieces of fruit handy, or I often sub in a 1 lb. bag of carrots and cut them up into carrot sticks myself.

It continues to save me time being annoyed by the lackluster selection of GOOD organic produce at my local grocery store,

It has allowed me to try foods I probably wouldn't have before. Beets? Swiss chard? YES.

Now that it has gotten warmer out, I was concerned about how my box would hold up in the heat until I could get home from work, but I have been pleased with how they carefully package my produce with ice packs so everything is fresh and not hot, soggy, or wilted.

The produce is always perfectly between not-overly-ripe or not-ripe-at-all, perfect for eating within a few days, and some of the stuff I've been able to keep for about a week.

One cantaloupe, 1 lb. carrots, 3 plums, 2 peaches, 2 tomatoes, 2 kiwi, 1 yellow onion, 1 head of lettuce, 2 zucchini...all organic, some local, and only $25.99. LOVE

I am very excited because we are finally getting to the point of the year that some of the produce in my box is LOCAL! I LOVE supporting local agriculture, so this is a huge plus for me. Like I said in my first post, it's just like a CSA, but with more flexibility.

The convenience of being able to sub out items in each shipment is awesome--I was able to get almost all of the fruits and vegetables I needed for Peyton's 4th birthday party last week in one box....again, saving me time at the grocery store.

Speaking of grocery stores, I've also tried out their grocery delivery service for a few things, which was AWESOME. The ordered items came with my box on my regularly scheduled day, and shipping was F-R-E-E.

Box cancellation is easy peasy. I have only cancelled a few times, often up until the last minute, with no problem.

The one time I had to call customer service, which I believe is based out in Colorado, I couldn't find my box outside (I know.). I was met with friendly service, returned phone calls, and offers to redeliver my produce ASAP. Luckily I found it and called them back to let them know...and was met with the same friendly warmth. We laughed together over my silliness, and that was that.

We are so pleased, I have no intention of stopping my deliveries any time soon. I am so hooked on the convenience and flexibility, it has been an absolute lifesaver for this busy mom.

Small boxes start at $25.99, which is what I get and usually lasts me anywhere from 4-7 days depending on what I get, with just a little supplementation from the produce store on my way home from work, or even adding a few of the grocery items from Door to Door Organics.
