it's not always about the cost Jim, sometimes it's about what is healthiest for yourself and your family.

good luck amber! maybe in the growing season you can discontinue this service and buy locally. cheaper, better for the earth, and for your little ones!

I do this every week. The group I'm in SDS (students for a democratic society) works with a local urban farm, Growing Power, to bring in market baskets for people. I find the service fucking awesome, cheap (only $9 for a ton of veggies, and you can get more for more money), and it promotes local business and produce.

i should probably care more about this stuff, but i really don't. i have a farmer's market right up the road and in the summer i get all my veggies from my grandpop's HUGE garden and lots of fruit from his apple, peach, and pear trees. i buy very little fruits and veggies in the growing season (thanks grandpop!). when i buy a house a big yard will be a must, not only for my dog but for a sizable garden.

kudos for getting your baby on a healthy start to life though i might care more if i had children to think about.

If I were still running a day care this would be a great helpful service, but I would still be funny about people picking out my fruit, I like to smell it and check out everything before I buy it.

the only major difference usually in fruit is that it doesn't look as "clean" as conventionally produced fruit - the organic fruit will usually have a few bug nibble scars and whatnot. but as far as other organic products, the differences vary. in one of my classes the prof set up a blind taste test of organic vs conventional foods like yogurt, crackers, strawberries, juice, etc etc. for some things it was hard to identify which was which, but i will never forget how incredibly different the applesauce and apple juice tasted. worlds apart. it was kinda cool.
