Door-to-door organic produce delivery
I live in Berkeley and I'm looking for organic produce delivered to my door (as opposed to a more central pick-up location) because I don't drive. I've been using Farm Fresh to You (aka Capay Farms) for a few years and there are many things I like about it -- being able to add or subtract items from my weekly box, and being able to order non-produce items like eggs and cheese. But I'd like to try other services to see if I like them better. Do you use a produce delivery service you can recommend?

Imperfect produce.
I use Full Circle. Full Circle is a delivery service that picks up from a variety of local farms. They deliver to my door early early in the morning so it's waiting for me on Friday morning when I awake. They have about 3 different size/price choices. You can substitute for things you don't want and you can also add to your order. They also have grocery items (extra cost) like milk, eggs, chocolate, olives, ....many others.....all local and farm fresh.
We've had Full Circle since 2012 and have been happy. If they goof on your order they are very generous with giving you credit.
If you decide to go with them, please use my name as your referral source. I will get credit. Good luck, have fun.
Hello, I love Albert and eve- their website is Alberteve.com. They deliver organic produce to your door every week, and you can choose what you want- they will generally have a few options for veg and fruit for your weekly delivery, and you pick from those each week. You can also order from a wide variety of other fruits and veggies for an additional cost if you want, plus breads, meats, dairy, fresh pasta - lots of goodies. You can cancel anytime, and they are super nice about replacing things if you aren't happy with something. They also wash the veggies well, so it isn't like some experiences I had before when we spent several hours washing greens every week. Check them out! You can get $20 off your first order with the code riskfree20- tell Brandon I sent you :)
Imperfect Produce! I've had Capay as well, and I prefer Imperfect. You can customize, there is no minimum and it is also a good cause.
Hello! I get organic vegetables and fruits from Eat Well Farm. I believe they have drop off at your house with an extra cost. Please check the website. You can add items like eggs. Hope you enjoy like I do!
I have subscribed to Full Belly Farm for years. They are at some local farmer's markets, and have a big CSA program.
They do have delivery to your door.
They don't offer much flexibility in terms of adding or subtracting items--it is just a box of whatever is ready each week, primarily vegetables, some fruit. They do offer some additions (wool, meat, flour, flowers) if you like.
I recommend them. Whether they are a good value, up to you to decide.
I've been using imperfect produce for about 6 months. been mostly happy with their service, though note their company is in an expansion phase so expect some growing pains - for example, in a couple of boxes I received less produce than purchased (they credited my account once I notified them, but still...a little annoying). they do weekly delivery, and you can also choose what to receive in your box each week - I think the selection has been pretty good so far.
I have been using imperfectproduce.com for the last month or so. It is different from a CSA because they are sourcing fruit and vegetables from a variety of sources; produce that normally wouldn't get sold because of its imperfections. The grapefruit are small, the pears have blemishes on the skin, the broccoli heads are small. I'm finding that I prefer the imperfect veggies over the fruit, I can tailor my box each week, so that has allowed me to experiment with different items. The prices are pretty good.
