Today's Delivery

This box of organic fruits and vegetables arrived at my door today thanks to Abel and Cole.

Abel and Cole is an organic delivery service that tries to use as much local (UK) food as possible. According to their FAQ, when they cannot get the produce in the UK (out of season or bananas) they have independent producers they use. From not using air freight produce to asking customers to give back the boxes to be used again, Abel and Cole tries to be as green (and good) as possible. I can log onto the website and shop for meat, fish, other organic items, along with fruit and veg. Each week, they list what fruits and veg will be packed in the boxes. And best of all, if I don't want something random (like Kohl Rabi...what is that?) in my box, or I always want bananas, I can tell them. In this first delivery, I got celery today instead of Kohl Rabi.

So what's in my box today? Pears, oranges, bananas, potatoes, carrots, apples, onion, celery, green lettuce, cabbage, and leeks. Yes. Leeks. I don't know what to do with them, but I'll let you know how that goes down.

This lovely box, combined with my Whole Foods trip today leaves this girl (who never foresaw any affinity for organic anything) feeling ever so slightly greener!
