A Fridge Full of Organic Produce

A few weeks ago, a friend on Facebook, Rachel Cosgrove, posted about her recent order from a company called Abundant Harvest and all the great produce she got that week. I went over to their website to learn more about their company.

Just like many of you, our family has been on a journey to live and eat healthy. Which, much to our dismay, we discovered is extremely expensive to accomplish.
We decided that that was unacceptable especially if we had the ability to improve this struggle for enhancing health. Thus, our desire for affordable, chemically unaltered food led us to develop Abundant Harvest Organics. We have uncovered an approach to natural food distribution that will deliver organic produce at conventional prices within hours of harvest.

I loved the whole concept of the company as well as eating a variety of produce that I may never buy on my own. I was pleased to discover they deliver to Orange County, drop off spots are limited but there just happened to be one in Mission Viejo that I could get to weekly. So, I signed up and picked up my first box this past Wednesday. It was like picking up a present!

Everything in this week's box:


Included in your order, is a newsletter that tells you what all your produce is (I needed this, I had no idea what a few things were!) and which farm it comes from. The newsletter gives you cooking tips and info on the produce, this week's tips were on Kohlrabi and Sweet Potatoes. The newsletter also gives a recipe for a Pumpkin Cake Roll which looks pretty yummy.

Washed up and put in the fridge:




What is pretty cool is that you can include "add ons" to your weekly order. They offer an extensive list with pictures on their site. I included eggs and some other produce for next weeks order. This weeks order included pears and I think it was the best pear I have ever had. Everything from the Fuyu Persimmons to the Garlic Chives have been eaten and used in my cooking thus far.

This mornings omelette, filled with tons of veggies:


I love this company and what they deliver! Check out their site and see if it works for you to pick up a weekly box. It is definitely worth it!
