Organic, shmorganic

For a while now I've been trying to figure out how to start doing the organic food thing. It's easy enough to pick up items at the grocery store that say "organic," but are they really? We are just taking the store's word for it. And the definition of organic is pretty wide -- people are applying it to things they shouldn't.

In a weird case of coincidence, D called me this morning to say that he's heard some guys talking about an organic food delivery system from a place called Full Circle Farm in Washington state. So I checked it out and discovered that they have a delivery site to my workplace! Then I noticed a story that my boss had posted on our internal employee website about this very same thing. Spooky how things just come together like that.




One of coworkers has been utilizing the service for a while now and sings it's praises. So long story short we signed up for a small box every two weeks -- which comes right to my workplace -- and that is supposed to be plenty for two people. I'm really excited to check out the produce quality and support real organic produce farms.


From the Full Circle Farm website:


Full Circle Farm is a 300-acre certified organic produce farm in Carnation, Washington. Full Circle Farm cultivates over 125 varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, utilizing sustainable farming practices which focus on soil health as the foundation for nutritious organic produce.


Our top quality produce is available through our year-round CSA Program, and found in local Farmers Markets, restaurants and grocery stores. Members of the CSA Program have the ability to customize box contents and have the option of ordering from Full Circle's Green Grocer which offers a variety of products that can be delivered with their box. Choose from organic fair-trade chocolate and coffee, fresh eggs from free-roaming organic chickens, and other seasonally available fruits and vegetables.
