Front Door Organics and ME!



I've done it my Peeps! I've been thinking about it for so long, researching possibilities, looking at options and I've finally gone and done it. No, it's not a car, a new house, plastic surgery... I've signed with an Organic Food delivery service. Front Door Organics has been in Toronto since the late 80's I believe. There are lots of other, great players out there now but these guys offered a lot of flexibility and they delivered on a good day for us.
YES, they deliver it... to my door! Crap! Sounds too good to be true - what took me so long? Organic crap does cost more and I've been balking at the price. But, I've been doing some long hard thinking about our planet and I realise that there isn't very much that little old me can do. However, as Derek so wisely pointed out to me, it's the small things that you do everyday that will make a difference. I've also been thinking about local economies - People! Big Box stores give us awesome prices but what is the real cost to our local people and community? Where was all the stuff made in the first place? Who made it?? Ach, I'm ranting, I know...

Back to Front Door, this is one of my many 'small' choices. Sure it's a sacrifice BUT


It supports local farmers

It doesn't have chemical crap on it

The less that we buy with chemical crap on it, the less that it will be spread on fields (affecting bird, animal and human populations... oh yeah, and our water supply)

Doing it this way is a little bit cheaper than buying organic at my big box grocery store!

It encourages me to eat more vegetables (maybe some different ones too)


In short, I'm committed and I'm going to put my money (a little more) where my mouth is.
What's really awesome is that the boxes look like this when you get them. How inspiring is that?
