Best Organic Produce
Boxed Greens
STAFF PICK: When Gina Verdugo first formulated a plan to
deliver fresh, organic produce to peoples' front doors, even she
couldn't have imagined how phenomenal the response would be to
her entrepreneurial idea. What started out as a trickle of loyal
customers has become a deluge as word has spread among friends,
neighbors and co-workers about the pleasure of eating vegetables
and fruit that not only retain the tastes and textures nature
intended, but have also escaped the toxic treatment championed
by the monolithic agribusiness empire. Boxed Greens hand-delivers
the kind of vine-ripened, home-grown difference only certified
organic farmers and small growers can guarantee. Verdugo and her
dedicated staff seek out the best seasonal fruits and vegetables
from local and national growers, buying them in bulk, bagging
them to individual specifications, and bringing them right to
your door. Regular customers get a slight discount and the reassurance
their box will be delivered on a prearranged schedule, making
those listless trips through the supermarket's tepid offerings
a thing of the past. Member costs range from about $24 to $60
for bi-weekly delivery; and you'd be hard pressed to find a better
selection even if you went to the store and picked it out yourself.
As for us, we're content to pay a little more, support growers
with a conscience, and let Boxed Greens do the driving. For information,
call 629-0555.
