Farm Fresh To You [+]

Farm Fresh To You is a farm produce delivery service in the Bay Area. When you sign up you can set the schedule and size of box you receive. I did a small fruit box every two weeks. A small box is about 12-14 items so enough for a daily fruit for one person. Most of the other boxes have more (or all) vegetables.

I received four shipments and the contents vary though they tell you well beforehand. It's about half apples (of various kinds) and half other fruits in season, usually 2 of each fruit and sometimes one. You can modify your box and the web site makes it easy. Add fruits or vegetables that come in standard boxes. But you can also add various meats, dairy and baked goods (mostly from local producers).

Small box is $28. The prices are a bit more expensive though in general better quality goods than at a big supermarket. I'd guess about the same prices as a quality grocery store like the local Draeger's Market.

Delivery was no problem. They leave the box at your door overnight. There's a box with the produce and a bag with ice packs and refrigerated goods you added. You have a couple of days to tell them (on the website) if there was anything damaged or missing. Sunday they billed my credit card (my delivery was Wednesday morning).

Overall a nice service.
