It was left at my front door in a protected plastic crate, very neatly packaged with an egg crate bottom and lots of shredded newspaper for support. It smelled so fresh and wonderful as soon as I opened it up (mainly because I had a big batch of cilantro in there, as well as some rosemary olive oil bread).
They include as much local stuff as possible and noted it on my order form (the apples, oranges, and onions, among other items). The rest is purchased from organic farms across the US.
They delivered everything I ordered, although they had to make a few substitutions based on freshness. So instead of red navel oranges, I got valencia and instead of a green bell pepper, I got a big ol' red one. That actually worked to my benefit as the red pepper is slightly more expensive than the green pepper.
My milk and eggs were inside a thick foil insulated sack with a frozen bottle of water to keep them cool.
How convenient to not have to fight crowds at the grocery store, and how wonderful to be all organic and support local farmers. I'm really happy about this; I've just got to make that mind/body connection so that I can actually learn to eat this stuff.
Anyway, I took pics of course ...
