What's the name of the company that delivers food
in Green Living
I remember reading about it (last year, maybe?). It's kind of like a CSA but its one comany and they deliver all over the place. I only vaguley remember how it works -- I didn't pay close attention because I had a great CSA, but now that my new town doesn't have a good one...I need something else.
Also, I've never been to the farmers market. My mom said the one she goes to tends to be ridiculously overpriced (like $6 for a canteloupe) which does not work with my minature grocery budget. Do you tend to find good sales at the market, or is it pretty pricy?
Re: What's the name of the company that delivers food
The only delivery services I know of are local to my area so I can't help you there.
I've been to a handful of farmer's markets in my area and one is definitely more expensive than the rest of them but it's in a trendier area so I'm sure that has something to do with it. The farmer's market we go to is definitely cheaper than getting organic produce at the co-op. The first thing that comes to mind is basil - we can get a huge bunch of it at the farmer's market for $1. The same amount at the co-op would easily be at least $10. We haven't signed up for a CSA because we like going to the market and it's cheaper for us to do it that way.
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
All of our delivery services are exclusive just to our local area- can't help you out there.
I've shopped at Farmer's Markets since I've been in college and they are always way cheaper than at the grocery store or local co-op- even in the more expensive cities I've lived in. $6 sounds a little pricey for a melon- if that was the case, I just wouldn't buy the melon
- Perhaps some things might be expensive, but overall, I save a lot of $$ by shopping at the farmer's markets
This is our experience also. During the height of the summer season though, when everything is plentiful, you can get some really great deals. That $6 melon was probably at the start of the season, so not many vendors had melons, hence the farmer who does have them can ask a higher premium for them. The price *should* come down once every farmer is selling melons. So I buy basil for $2 for a huuugge bunch in June and make pesto in bulk, rather than paying $4-5 in April or September when there's not as much of it available.
