Although we do have organic produce available in the local grocery store, I would look at the produce I was buying that came from South America and think, "Why am I buying food from a whole different continent?" When I discovered Grant Farms, and found out that they deliver weekly up to the mountains, I was so excited!
I'm an ovo-lacto-vegetarian. Having fresh, local, organic produce every week has been so wonderful. And my most favorite thing is the eggs. Compared to store-bought eggs, even the organic "cage-free" kind, the yolks are so much richer, the taste is fantastic, and I can be completely happy with the way the hens live. It just tickles me pink to read about the mobile hen houses, and how the hens are guarded as they roam freely outside by emus and alpacas. I am completely comfortable putting raw eggs from GFF into my morning smoothie. I would never do that with store-bought eggs.
The bread is some of the tastiest I've ever had. Nothing I can buy at the store comes close. And the flowers were a special treat to myself and totally worth getting.Some of the more delicate flowers would fade after a week, but quite a few of the flowers would last well into the second week.
Grant Farms is completely transparent about their operations. People can visit the farm any time and see firsthand how the food is grown and how the animals are living. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and they make you feel like you are part of the farm.
Due to my location (above 9000 feet) and work schedule, growing my own garden is not practical. Relying on someone else for the food we eat is one of the most sacred of trusts. I have complete confidence in the food I receive from GFF - quality, nutritional value, purity, humane treatment, local source, and certified organic. I recommend them 100%.
My only sadness, although I understand, is that they can't deliver to the mountains during the winter.
