Organic Eating Comes to My Door

November 2, 2009 - 8:55pm 63 reads 0 comments

All Summer long, I enjoyed visiting my local Farmer’s Markets and spending my $20 cash I would allow myself weekly on fresh fruits and vegetables, and whatever finds were there. I was always amazed at how much I could get, and loved finding new ways to use what I bought.

What I couldn’t use immediately for making my lunch at home, or dinner for my family, I would prepare and freeze in Ziploc bags for later use. But with the onset of Fall, the Farmer’s Markets won’t be in operation any more, except in one location, 20 miles north of my home. I’m sad to not be able to visit the Farmer’s Market with my re-usable bags and coffee, perusing the offerings from the local growers and businesses.

Last week a chance coupon arrived on my doorstep quite literally. We receive a long paperboard “dog ear” of coupons that are attached to the front doorknob of the house. I usually look at them in case something should catch my eye. As I went down the strip, there it was, Door To Door Organics. I read the $5 off coupon wondering what it was all about, and went to my computer to do more research. A Door to Door organic produce delivery service. Interesting!
