Door to Door Organics, by the by, is an organic delivery service that partners with local farms to bring you just-picked farmers-market produce (and eggs, and meat, and more, depending on your location). The founder grew up not too far from me, in Bucks County.

We’ve used Door to Door Organics’ weekly boxes in the past to get us through until farmer’s markets reopened in the spring, and had great luck with them. They deliver in PA, NJ and DE.
