A friend sent me a link to Orlando Organics this week. I checked it out and decided to start a weekly produce subscription. This family-owned business distributes fruits and vegetables all over the Orlando area. Most of it is locally grown; some of it is from out-of-state since it’s not grown here (like potatoes). I got the medium package for $32 a week and my single co-worker is going to split the order and cost. I’ll keep the blog updated on how it goes for us and how it affects our regular grocery bill.

Cara Davis (@carandavis), 33, planned her dream wedding in seven months for less than $5,000 in November 2003. She, her husband, Jeff, daughter Madilyn, and dog, Macey, live in Orlando, Florida. 
Yes, please keep us posted on the progress! I too have considered joining a co-op – but there isn’t anything local (I live in WI, everything either comes from MI or MN) so I just stick to the Farmer’s Market. Plus, I don’t know how my husband and I could go through that much produce – so please let us know how it goes with just cooking for 2…do you use all the food? Or does it go bad?
I regularly post on my blog about this type of thing, and my quest to live a greener life – including going organic on a budget.
How is the Orlando Organics going? I just found out about it, too. I did a price comparison with Whole Foods, and the delivery services seems to be about 21% cheaper. Thanks.
