Farm Fresh to You

If there is one thing that Chels and I love to splurge on, its vegetables at a farmers market. But has anyone else noticed that while farmers markets are supposed to be cheap... the price is getting higher and higher? Perhaps it's because we live in an area where the median income allows BMW and Mercedes delearships to stay in business, but nonetheless, its deterred us from browsing the streets of Campbell or Los Gatos on market days as frequently as we used to.

Chels came home from work not too long ago with information from a coworker on a neighborhood vegetable delivery service that came straight from the farmers. Looking into a bit more, I discovered several such services... one of which caught my eye: Farm Fresh to You. I had seen their vehicles pass through on various days of the week and their logo instantly jumped out at me. I researched them a bit, noted they deliver to your home (definitely a rare perk amongst similar services) and prices that were extremely friendly. A wide range of delivery options were available as were packages to choose from. You can also check off from a rather exhaustive list of offered produce what you would rather not receive (allergies or dislikes I suppose). Honestly, what could be better for us veggie lovers?

Our first shipment arrived this past Friday and we were very impressed. We chose to sign up for the smallest option on a biweekly basis to see what we thought. Yellow onions, sweet peppers, red leaf lettuce, crimson grapes, cantaloupe, gala apples, and heirloom tomatoes... for $20! Recipes accompanied our shipment for ideas on what to bake with the produce. Definitely cool! We've already consumed most of the food (and its only Tuesday) so we've upgraded to their most popular package (Regular Box) for an extra $10. Had we received this package we would've received significantly more produce in both variety and quantity.

Thus far we are very impressed with this service and would recommend it to anyone who likes fresh, oragnic produce delivered to their doorstep for cheap. Visit their website (above) and mention promo code 6164 and type in "Keyser" in the referred to section. This will get you $5 off your first shipment! Enjoy!
