This year, a couple friends and I decided to try splitting a Family Share of vegetables and a Double Share of fruit, to try and get a sampling of the local bounty. We heard about it from our local Basil Doc's manager, and after some research, decided it was well worth our investment.
To this day I believe it has been one of the best decisions I could have made! For little more than I would have spent on organic produce at the local super market, I receive a truly beautiful delivery of assorted (always assorted!) vegetables and fruits of all shapes and sizes. I love that nothing is homogenous, that not everything is the exact same color, and that nothing is tainted with chemical toxins. I love learning about things I've never tasted (beet greens! Kohlrabi! Hubbard Squash!) and I love the distinct, special flavors of foods I know were grown less than 100 miles away.
Grant Farms puts in a good deal of hard work not only to offer good food to the people of Colorado, but also to invite them to learn more about where food comes from, and how we can better nourish ourselves and one another. I hope I can continue to support Andy Grant and the farmers he represents by participating in programs like this whenever possible.
