Organic Fruit and Produce Buying Club

   Are you interested in organic fruits and vegetables, but can't afford the price in the grocery store? Here is a solution that may work for you. I am starting an organic fruit and vegetable buying club that would be available on a bi-weekly basis, initially. By pooling our resources, we can create greater purchasing power to buy fresh organic produce at discounted prices. If there is enough interest we could increase it to a weekly interval. Basically the more people we have the better the value, and greater the selection we will have. Our boxes will change slightly each time based on availability, and to also add a variety to our diet. We try to source as much as possible from Florida farmers first and believe in supporting local economies. The closer to home our food is grown the fresher it is when you get it.  

What are some benefits of a local "neighborhood" buying club?

1.     All products are certified organic and Non-GMO (genetically modified organisms.)  Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without chemicals, in the form of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, as well as synthetic fertilizers. You also have greater nutritional value, and the food tastes better.

2.     Food will be fresher than what you buy at the store. The turnaround at the store is not always that quick, so sometimes you end up with produce that sits on a shelf for some time. This then leads you to have to use your gas to search around for availability, and fresher items. Now you are wasting your precious time, and gas money.

3.     No membership fees or contracts. Simply place your order with me one week in advance, and pick up at a specific location on delivery day. We are working on "host" locations all around town to make it more convenient for everyone. This is a volunteer location that is willing to help out their community by allowing the produce to be dropped off at their house, and then sorting it out for the members that live close by. They then will give a pick up window for you to come and pick up your beautiful, fresh produce. You will pay them by cash or check. If it is your first order just pay when you pick up. If you plan to be doing this on a regular basis then you will need to prepay for the next order. If you need to skip a week just let us know a week in advance.  

Below are some sample options that would be available. If there are specific requests, or allergies we can certainly work with you.
