Pretty by Nature

Local Produce Delivered: Update

by Noel Boehm on January 30th, 2008

So we are about halfway through our box o’ goodness from our local natural foods store and we are hooked. In our inaugural box we received: 5 bananas, 3 white onions, 6 Russet potatoes, two bunches of kale and spinach, 3 kiwis, 4 mini Pink Lady apples, a bag of golden carrots and two grapefruits *panting*. That’s all I can remember right now, but can you believe it? Oh wait, some oranges too. All of that for $25.00. We ended up spending $20.00 less than our weekly grocery budget. And since it’s like bitterly cold outside, you know the kind that makes you want to stick your hands in boiling water, I had no intention of leaving my house. Instead here comes friendly hippie kid with a burst of warm sunshine in a box. Or reusable bag, your choice. So far I have made twice baked potatoes, brown sugar glazed carrots and stir fry with spinach. I feel spoiled now. I’m off to have a kiwi and pretend I’m in the tropics somewhere.
