I think I'm about done with these deliver-food-to-home services

I decided to give Door to Door Organics a go since they were offering a $10 off thing for your first order. I received it today and turned right around and cancelled my account so I don't get any more.

I wasn't all that concerned with the "organic"ness of the food since conventional is just fine but I had hoped they'd have a focus on quality. On the "bitty box" order that I placed, my single tiny jalapeno was wrinkly, the roma tomatoes weren't near the ice pack yet were rather frigid so they'd been refrigerated (a SIN!), the cilantro was floppy, the fresh cut mango looks rather underripe and they put my bag of snapea crisps under one of the ice packs and a can of grape leaves so it was somewhat smushed.

You have that exactly right. People are led to believe that "organic" means no pesticides are used which is completely incorrect. I bought into the hype for a while until I realized it was all a gimmick. The one thing I do try to do in the summer, though, is to buy more locally sourced produce in general. It tastes fresher and is better for the carbon footprint.

Ah, thankfully I had a promo code. On the bright side, it's good that they disappointed me right from the get go when I was paying less for it LOL

It's just a way for the stores to charge more for produce that is not necessarily any better for you. We do a lot of our vegetables from the farmers market, as you say it's fresh and good to support the local economy!
