Fruit and Vegetable Delivery

Well, I have given a delivery of fruits and vegetables to my door a try.  I have to say I like it very much.  This is a small family owned farm and their deliveries are at night.  To make it convenient you can leave a cooler at your door and they will put your delivery in it.  However, in my case I am in an apartment building so that would not work outside the building.  The guard station, however, said they would take it and bring it to my apartment.  I can choose to have a cooler outside my apartment door or I can open the door and accept the delivery.  Guess depending on where you live you would have to make arrangements for your delivery.

First time I got a delivery I was confused about the day though they did tell me Wednesday, the 14th around midnight as I was the first delivery.  Ended up with them coming at 10:45 pm on the 13th.  I heard the tap on the door but I was not about to open my door at that time since I was expecting no one.  I did peep through the peep hole and seeing no one went back to bed.  At that point the telephone rang and it was South Moutain Veggies (http://www.southmountainveggies.com/home.php) telling me that my delivery was outside my door.  I opened the door and there was their signature green bag with my produce.

I am new at this ordering thing so I didn't know what to expect.  I had gotten a deal through Groupon - (get 50 to 90 percent off the best stuff your city has to offer. Hot deals in Chicago, New York, Boston and many other cities with http://www.groupon.com/ ).for a $38 basket for $19 that is supposed to feed a family of 4.  When I looked at the list it didn't appear it would so I decided not to share with two other friends and splitting the cost.

Well, I have to tell you the produce and fruits are beautiful and the pears are to die for.  It really is enough fruits and veggies for I would say 2-4 people.  I will be eating lots of fruits and vegetables this weekend.  I did customize the basket which you can do.  I have lots of garlic and spinach now and a big head of savoy cabbage along with lots of pears, etc.  The pears are seckels (brownish yellow and russet, most often having a dark reddish blush, the small almost bite-size Seckel pear, pronounced SEHK-uhl, sometimes has a dull green cast. A very sweet pear with a rather grainy texture, this hybrid offers a subtly spicy flavor.)


I really like this idea and have decided that I will do a smaller basket that I can customize.


If you want to give them a shot please mention that I referred you.  Doesn't get me anything from them but lets them know that word of mouth works.
