I think I'm in love

We've been doing a lot of reading about Winder Farms lately, and have liked everything we've seen. They are a food delivery company that operates out of Utah, using all natural, primarily organic, and locally-grown foods. So far, everything we're trying to work towards. The deal is, you pay a $12 monthly charge, they give you a spiffy wheeled cooler that you set outside your front door every Tuesday, you place an order online, and like magic, farm-fresh produce, milk, free-range eggs show up at your door every Wednesday morning. The part we were skeptical about was the pricing; from all our research, the prices were at LEAST on par with the grocery's (non-organic) food, and most of the time, it was noticeably cheaper. Since what we're getting is organic, which is a premium at the grocery, this is a good value, even with the delivery fee, and there was a promise of coupons every month to make it even more affordable. Seemed too good to be true, but we caved and signed up for a short-term agreement based on a promotion we found at a festival a week ago.

This was the bounty I found waiting for me this morning - and I gotta say, the produce was just as pretty and fresh and wonderful looking as anything I've ever found at the Albertsons. What's more, you can order it as a "kit" with a recipe to make supper. This one is for grilled chicken salad and a lemon cake.

If this first order is anything like what we should expect in the future, I think I'm falling in love.
