| - Well, I have now received four deliveries from Nature's Garden Delivered. Each week is, as others have said, like receiving a gift; kind of like those I used to get from my children when they were young: I pay for it! There is something special about waking up and finding a box of produce outside the door. As advertised, the produce is delivered before 7 a.m. In all cases, through the August heat, the produce was still well chilled and the ice pack had some time remaining. Packaging is great; all the produce is packaged in a thick plastic bag and dry items, like bread, are packed outside that bag~ Simple and effective.
My orders have been accurate. Now, I don't have a scale at home to weigh the items sold by weight; but, I feel confidant they are accurate. The quantity of the selections are pretty good. (I get the small mixed box) I have been exploring purchasing additional items versus going to a larger box. It appears that buying extra items will work better for me.
The quality of the food is top notch. All items have been flavorful and near ready to eat upon receiving the package. Some items need a tad of time to ripen, avocados for example. I have only received one peach that was on the soft side.
As far as value, I am going to say this is a very good value. I haven't taken a list to the store to comparison shop. Some items I eyeballed in the store and pricing seems comparable. What appears to be consistent is the quality of NGD surpasses the store bought organic items. We eat a lot of bananas here and NGD's are tastier than what I bought in the grocery store.
This whole pre-determined "food box" thing concerned me at first. But I quickly learned that the three exchanges and the purchase of additional items makes for a great mix of produce. What is really fun is getting stuff I have never tried before, like kale.
The bread that is available is terrific. No, they are not the long loaves like Silvercup or Tasty bread. These are real loaves of bread. Yeah, a bit on the short side, but very satisfying. The whole wheat and seed bread are really good, wholesome and dense. The cinnamon pecan bread is absolutely fabulous; when we had some in the house (for a few days) I found myself looking forward to some with my morning coffee. YUM!
NGD staff are timely in any of my e-mails and offer the best of service.
Bottom Line: I highly recommend Nature's Garden Delivered. If you like the idea of not having to shop around and pick out your produce and want to feel confidant that the items you are eating are organic and of the best available- you simply cannot go wrong.
