My Favorite Food Delivery

By Mary Kennon Lewis

October 9, 2013

When my eight month old started eating solid foods a few months ago, I was determined to ONLY feed him the very best organic fruits and vegetables. I’ll admit, I had no idea what a challenge that would be! The organic produce section at my local grocery store was pretty sparse and driving all over town to farmer’s markets was just not an option with a little one prone to meltdowns. So, when I saw a commercial for ColdLife Organics produce delivery, I was sold!

Signing up took only a few minutes and now our family gets fresh, delicious organic fruits and vegetables delivered right to our door. I decided to order from ColdLife Organics after checking out their website www.coldlife.com , but there are also other companies that deliver organic produce in the Atlanta area. Why do I think it’s so great?

Convenience – With a few clicks, all of my weekly grocery shopping for organic fruits and vegetables is done! Even better, I don’t have to be home when it’s delivered. The delivery boxes have insulated liners that keep your produce icy cold for up to eight hours so it’s fine if not refrigerated right away.
Much More Affordable Than You’d Think – We’re all aware that organic items are pricier than conventional items. Therefore, I was really surprised to see all of the items I received in the $39 Fruit and Vegetable Delight Small box for one to two` people. It was a LOT of food (more than enough for our family of three)!
Wide Variety of Items – In additional to normal, everyday fruits and vegetables (lettuce, carrots, apples, etc), ColdLife Organics also offers items that are a little different. For example, last week we were eating Purple Peruvian potatoes and this week we’re eating pomegranates. Whether you’re four or forty four, eating purple potatoes is fun (and a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!).

ColdLife Organics has definitely changed my family’s eating habits for the better and I LOVE getting that box on my doorstep each week. As I was writing this blog entry, I got an email from ColdLife Organics that they will soon be turning into a full online grocery store. Be sure to check them out, I think it’s a great option for those of us who want to eat healthier but don’t have a lot of time to shop.

Let me know, what are your thoughts on ordering groceries online?
