There is NO way that this little gem should be kept a secret! A few weeks ago I signed up for The Produce Box and I just could not be happier! The Produce Box is a local delivery company that delivers locally grown and REALLY straight from the field farm-fresh produce to your DOOR every week! What a brilliant concept!
Every week you get a choice of 3 different boxes to choose from. Box A and Box B have very accurate descriptions of what you can expect to have delivered. Box C, however, is their "surprise box". While they may give you an idea of one or two items in Box C the remainder of it will be filled with surprise treats from the farm. Each box that I have had delivered has been OVERFLOWING with fresh produce that is the absolute highest quality I have ever experienced. I have received fresh strawberries, spring onions, sweet potatoes, radishes, snow peas, asparagus, cucumbers, several varieties of lettuces and so much more! Each week they also add in a sample from a local vendor such as a cookie, slice of fresh bread, homemade salsa, etc.
Also in your box you receive their weekly newsletter that has tremendous tips for storing your produce, cleaning your produce and some great recipes to try out - that was extremely helpful to me when I received my ENORMOUS amount of spinach one week!
I really can't say enough about this service, the produce delivered, the friendly people that deliver the boxes each week and their organizational skills in pulling this off each week. So, if you live in the area you really should check out The Produce Box - I promise you will be genuinely surprised and pleased!
What better way to show or support for Local Farmers and Eat Better!!!

Leesa, wow! I could smell those strawberries all the way up here in Washington, DC!
Leesa, What an awesome business. I would join/buy from them if they were around here. Your lucky!
Sounds like a great idea, for the farmers & the consumer. I wish we had this in my town.
Leesa - You're right what a brilliant concept and I'm sure it's so much fresher than going to the local grocery store, most likely cheaper too.
I look forward to my boxes every week, Pat - they are AMAZING!!!
I was so excited to discover them, June! But, ya know how I did???? They drove by and put a flyer in my mailbox - just goes to show that old style advertising still works! DOH! Guess I gotta blog about that!
I think there are a few companies around the Carolina's - maybe you could spearhead it in your area, Raine? (not that I am sure you have nothing else to do.....)
I actually compared the prices, Michelle and they are pretty much in line price wise BUT the quality? Can not top what I get on my doorstep! AND it forces us to try new things every week!
I also receive The Produce Box weekly. It's wonderful! The pricing is comparable the the NC Farmers' Market, and the quality is through the roof!
If you're ever looking for more ideas on how to use the produce each week, please check out the Menus tab on JustRightMenus.com !
THANKS just right menus, for sharing your link! It's so great to explore new produce and find creative ways of cooking!
