| - I've been using Nature's Garden Delivered for about two years, maybe more. I love this service. The cost is much less than the cost of buying organic vegetables at the grocery store, and I love knowing that I am supporting local growers. The weekly delivery also helps me to plan meals ahead of time, and to cook and eat seasonally.
When I first started using the service, the produce was always very very fresh-cut. Now I would guess it is cut 2-3 days before delivery. Still fresher than the grocery store. I use an ethylene inhibitor in my fridge, and most of the produce lasts at least a week, sometimes longer.
Before subscribing, I saw a publicity video in which all of the produce was individually wrapped. I am glad to say that in practice, it isn't like that. The produce is packed in an upcycled cardboard box. Inside the box is a plastic bag, and inside the bag, the produce is nestled together. Some packing paper in the bottom of the box helps prevent bruising. Nature's Garden Delivered collects and re-uses all of the packing materials, and I hope that includes the plastic bags.
There have been a few times when I received produce that was in really bad shape. An email to Nature's Garden Delivered has always cleared things up, usually with a small credit.
I'm very grateful to have Nature's Garden Delivered and I recommend this service wholeheartedly.
