Montclair’s one local shop for fresh fruits and veggies appears to be kaput. After only nine months on Thornhill, the green grocer closed for good last week. We all liked the owner, but he wasn’t turning inventory – the neighborhood just didn’t give him sufficient business.
So it’s back to the Montclair Farmers Market, not that we’re complaining or anything. If you’re like me, then you pick up a few things during that Sunday stroll. You probably venture to the supermarkets in between, buying whatever produce is on hand there.
Well another option walked up to me, last week. That’s when a Farm Fresh To You sales rep stopped me in the Village. With pamphlets in hand, Richard asked if I ate my fruits and veggies! He was ready to discuss organic farm deliveries, right to my doorstep.
Farm Fresh sounds interesting, because they adjust delivery quantities and frequencies to meet your requirements. You may also pick and choose what’s in the seasonal deliveries, at least a little bit. The service does seem pretty convenient.
Of course, we had milk and eggs delivery when I was a kid…showing my age! More recently I tested out the Safeway delivery, but would advise packaged goods there; my fresh stuff arrived with near (and past) expiration dates.
So has anyone tried out organic farm deliveries yet?
