Give the gift of organic produce!

Looking for a last minute green gift? Why not give the gift of an organic produce delivery? In talking to people who want to green their food routine, one of the biggest issues that always comes up is the price of organic produce.

Buying organic fruits and veggies from a local supermarket - especially in a small town like mine - can indeed get expensive. That's not to say that the food is over priced or not worth the cost - it definitely is worth it. But whether or not it's affordable to everyone is another question.

Services that specialize in organic and local(ish) produce can often deliver them right to your door for less than what you'd pay at a store. You also know that you're getting produce that is in-season.

After a hiatus from Door-to-Door Organics (which is a great company!) over the summer and fall months, we just signed up with Mile High Organics after finding a great Mamapedia deal last week ($19 for $30 worth of produce). If you're not in Colorado, just Google "organic delivery service" and the name of your city or state to find a provider in your -- or your loved one's -- area.

You don't need to send enough produce to keep them fed all month, even a nice bi-weekly delivery of fresh organic fruit makes a nice gift and is a great way to get someone on the road to organic eating.
