Concerned Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 You do not need to pay triple for your food to get a better quality food. I buy my vegetables from an organic delivery service and pay roughly what I would have paid at Safeway. People need to vote for quality food production by supporting quality food growers and producers with their consumer dollars. As more people demand their products to be organic, grain fed, hormone free, by purchasing those products, the prices will come down dramatically. Where do you order this stuff, I'm actually interested? Nothing like a little advertising plug for your local organic folks. The one I use is Small Potatoes, but I'm not sure if they have a calgary distribution center. They are www.spud.ca . If you emailed them from the contact us page, they are very good at getting back to you and probably could recommend a service in your area if they are not already there. Thanks! Apparently they deliver on Thursdays, I'm going to order some stuff up. They don't deliver in Montreal. Apparently they also don't deliver east of Calgary. Well if Montrealer's diets are anything like Torontonians, then I wouldn't doubt you couldn't get organic food there !! Do you guys even know what a vegetable is ??

I am sure you can but I really never investigated it. I don't have the greatest diet in the world...I'm NOT overweight, it is just that I like quick stuff so I can get right back to posting on MapleLeafWeb... We are rated like the 3rd or 4th best food city in the world I think offhand... Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton

We are rated like the 3rd or 4th best food city in the world I think offhand... Without Alberta beef, I strongly dispute that. No food is completely without some kind of beef. I eat it three meals a day. And for my midnight snack. It's actually the only food I eat. Quote RealRisk.ca - (Latest Post: Prosecutors have no "Skin in the Game") --

tml12 Posted February 7, 2006 Report Posted February 7, 2006 They don't deliver in Montreal. Apparently they also don't deliver east of Calgary. There's land east of Calgary? Most of that part of the world is dead to me now. So they say... Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton
Concerned Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 They don't deliver in Montreal. Apparently they also don't deliver east of Calgary. There's land east of Calgary? Most of that part of the world is dead to me now. So they say... Here is the response I got from my service for organic delivery in the "other" part of the world: I have a few links listed below for your friends to take a look at. I can't vouch for these companies personally, as I have no experience with them. However, at least as far as the produce boxes are concerned, Front Door Organics seems to be the closest match to the kind of service SPUD offers. Hope these help! For Toronto: http://www.frontdoororganics.com/ http://www.organicsdelivered.com/ http://www.mywowbox.com/welcome.asp http://www.greenearthorganics.com/ Montreal is somewhat trickier. I wasn't able to find any listings for organic home delivery in the Montreal area online. I'd be very surprised if there weren't any, but they don't seem to have an obvious web presence.

I haven't investigated it yet for Montreal but when I do (probably this weekend...earlies Friday) i will post the link here... I do appreciate you effort into the process and I am quite interested into finding out more about this... Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton

Well I can't speak for the service in the rest of the country but for a family of four here in BC, its just awesome. I get to poo poo all the crap they sell at the grocery store. The stuff they deliver is so much fuller in flavour, and you get a great variety of foods that you wouldn't otherwise have purchased. They are big about delivering "whats in season", so you do have to get out of the habit of eating snow peas in winter, however once you get used to cooking a few dishes that aren't normally on your personal menu, you gain the benefit of eating much fresher produce. If you find you get stuff that you don't know how to cook, I find that about 3 minutes of research on the internet will get me a multitude of excellent recipies. If anybody else out there is open minded to try it, tell all your friends, that is how the price of this stuff will come down, and suppliers will continue to respond to consumer demand for healthier foods.
