And much of the produce seems to be the exact same that I would normally buy from Sprouts or Walmart, with commercial apple stickers, etc or boxed blueberries with brands I can buy at any store. But most of is not- for example rock hard/unripe avocados, tiny, pale oranges, undersized grapefruit, hard peaches. Some of the produce seems very fresh, local and higher quality than the grocery store. Overall, I am pretty disappointed in my first two deliveries. #FARM FRESH TO YOU CODE#I’ve always wanted to try this service and finally decided to use a promo code and see how it worked out. Is it better than Instacarting in your groceries or picking through the crappy produce at the food store? By a mile. I guess I don't get the negativity on here. #FARM FRESH TO YOU FULL#Also, if you're still full up on fruits/veggies/goodies for the week, you can cancel a delivery or have them send it to a local food bank instead. There's even an option for them to send reminder texts if you've forgotten to customise your box the day of the cut-off and when your new box is ready to look at (I use these religiously because with the rollercoaster of these last few years, I tend to forget at least one thing on my to-do list). They also have options for vegan and gluten-free diets, which I appreciate, and their website is easy to navigate. The meats I've had from the add-ons were delicious (though pre-frozen) and always cooked well. If you're worried about your stuff/you have a local pest problem, if you leave out a cooler, they will use that too. I've never had an issue just grabbing my box before work-veggies have still been fine and frozen things have still been frozen (with their trusty ice pack by their side). Your box is left outside your door late at night because, being in California and as such, a desert climate, it's cool enough at night to leave them out there for a bit, even in the dead of summer. Granted, with the CSA option, I have *chosen* to get fresher, local produce with the drawback that I get the options of whatever's in season and that's it, so I cannot speak to the quality or freshness of other sorts of boxes. It's not a grocery store, so you don't always get cherry-picked, model-looking produce, but the taste is far better, so I don't mind. The produce I have gotten has been fresh and lovely. They also include a paper receipt in every delivery so you can cross-check with what you're supposed to get if you think something's missing. I used that option for the missing items and the one damaged item I've gotten from them, and I instantly received account credit every time. More importantly, if you request a refund for the missing/damaged items on your account/delivery page, they will give you a credit with no questions asked. Yeah, I've been shorted items a couple times throughout that time period (snap peas and blueberries from two separate boxes far apart), though I've also gotten an extra cabbage and a squash, so the errors haven't always been to my detriment. I've been getting the CSA box for an amount of time where it has outlived both an address and a name change, and I've had a completely different experience than some of the people here.
