Produce Box

I got the surprise box last night.  Curious what people's thoughts were on this week's box.  I was excited because it had some of my favorites!

Re: Produce Box

  • Im newish to the Nest as I still post on 'The Knot' a lot. Trying to transition over here though :)

     

    Mind if I ask what the surprise box is?

  • The Produce Box is available in the triangle area gives you freshly picked produce from local farms delievered to your house once a week.  Each week you can pick from Box A, Box B or the Surprise Box.  The contents for Box A and Box B are both listed, but it is a surprise what will come in the Surprise Box. 

    I got a large box of strawberries, a large box of new potatoes, a tomato, a huge sweet potato, a big spring onion (like a gigantic green onion), head of lettuce, head of cabbage, a huge cucumber, 3 yellow squash, a sample of bread, and a sample of peanut butter.  

  • Ohhh we have a friend that does this, but I didnt realize what it was called or where she got it from. Thank you for letting me in on it! Sounds delicious and fun :)

     

    Plus supporting local farmers is always a ++ in my book!

  • I got box C too and was very pleased. I love squash & zucchini! I got red leaf lettuce, pointy head lettuce, 2 sweet potatoes, 1 zucc, 4 squash, stawberries, 1 spring onion, new potatoes and the samples.

    Oh yeah and a giant cucumber and 2 tomatoes. 

  • That sounds awesome Elissa!  Just went to the link to check it out.  Sounds like a lot of people I know are doing that recently.  Is it cheaper than grocery store or Farmer's Market?

    I don't think it is cheaper, but I don't think it is incredibly more expensive either since you really do get a lot of stuff.  I pay the premium for the delivery, buying local, and the variety of veggies.  It is nice to be able to mix things up! 

  • And just remember its just the beginning of the season- the boxes will get fuller as we get into the warmer months!
  • gotta question...i just signed up tuesday and should get my box next week....when do i pick my box for next week>?
  • You pick your box Fri-Sun for the following week. You should get an email reminder.  :-) HTH

     

    Suz, if you're interested and/or have any questions, remind me tmrw when we walk!
