Farm Fresh

Not unlike many of you, for me this New Year brought a renewed commitment to health. Nestling nicely under the "Becoming Myself" category of Project 365, I'm aiming to weigh less, move more, and ultimately make choices that are more respectful of the body I have and the earth I live on. The specifics of this goal are to cut out as many processed foods and replace them with fresh fruits and vegetables. The problem I've always run into is on the shopping side of things. I buy too much and inevitably forget to factor in all of the meals away from home, leaving me with a ton of rotting produce.

But now, that's not a problem. Two years ago I came across this incredible produce delivery program while I was in the San Francisco Ferry Building: Farm Fresh To You. This incredible service delivers fresh, organic produce right to your door, specific to the season and to your personal preferences. You determine how much and how often you receive your delivery, and their wide array produce packages makes it easy to find the best one to meet your needs. Plus, they provide you with recipe ideas for those unique seasonal fruits and vegetables that you might otherwise not know what to do with.

Do I sound like an advertisement? I swear- I have no affiliation or incentive to push this company, other than my love for it. I love that I have fresh food from local farms delivered right to my door every other Thursday. I love not having to go to the store and gambling on whether I'll eat enough apples to justify buying the bulk bag just to get the discount. I love trying new foods that I would never buy off the shelf. And I love the idea that I'm doing something good for the economy, good for the environment, and good for myself all at a pretty low cost.

Farm Fresh To You isn't the only program like this, but it's definitely one that I recommend. If you have any good veggie recipes- I'd love to hear them!
