324441 Fri Sep 08 22:12:54 -0700 2006 9 1 San Francisco Bay Area 0 1863961 I currently get a Farm Fresh to You (Capay Farms) veggie/fruit box delivered to my house once a month, and I love it--it's like Christmas with produce. But I've been getting a ton of flyers for Planet Organics, and KQED is sending me a $20 gift certificate to try them out. Has anyone had any experience with Planet Organics, or both? Fri Sep 08 22:12:54 -0700 2006 16953 MuppetGrrl 1 1863967 They're both similar operations. You might want to investigate getting a real CSA box like Full Belly's.

In any case, it looks like Full Belly doesn't deliver to San Francisco, so I'm out on that one. Thanks for the rec, though. Fri Sep 08 22:22:23 -0700 2006 1863961 16953 MuppetGrrl 2 1863994 Capay Organics grows some of its stuff but also buys from other farms. It would be hard for them to sell bananas otherwise! Fri Sep 08 22:30:22 -0700 2006 1863979 11369 Robert Lauriston 3 1864016 Their snack pack, I believe is more mixed with other sustainable farms, but their veggie box (the one I get) is mostly them, if not all. I've been with them for two years and I've never gotten a banana. It's always seasonal, local food. In any case, if someone knows of an all-one-farm that actually delivers to homes in San Francisco, I'm all ears. Fri Sep 08 22:36:16 -0700 2006 1863994 16953 MuppetGrrl 4 1864058 Not one farm but Two Small Farms delivers to San Francisco. http://www.twosmallfarms.com/ Fri Sep 08 22:51:10 -0700 2006 1864016 10133 wally 1 1864075 One major difference is Farm Fresh to You (Capay Valley Farms)is actually a farm, and planet organics is a produce delivery company (which buys from farms). If it's important to you, I say support the farm directly, and stick with your Farm Fresh to You box. Fri Sep 08 23:03:13 -0700 2006 1863961 13834 oaklandfoodie 1 1864083 I kind of thought as much. I'll probably use the gift certificate, but they've been bombarding us with offers in the mail, too, so I was wondering if anyone had tried them. I'll stick with my lovely FFTY box! (This week: grapes, prunes, cauliflower, kale, honeydew, tomatoes, peaches...) Fri Sep 08 23:05:15 -0700 2006 1863961 16953 MuppetGrrl 1 1864118 I'm still enjoying my eatwell subscription. www.eatwell.com, One farm with some help from their neighbors via trades when needed. This week was summer squash, lemon cucumbers, lots of large and small heirloom tomatoes, basil. lemon verbena, eggplant, and apples. They are lovely folks with lots of pick up sites throughout the city. Fri Sep 08 23:18:54 -0700 2006 1863961 13248 China 1 1864238 I love Planet Organics and have been a customer for a few years. I think if you want farm produce from one supplier, than FF sounds good. I love that PO delivers organic milk, natural meats, and other items in addition to produce. I fiddle with my order each week to get what I want--you don't need to but I can't help myself. Sat Sep 09 00:16:31 -0700 2006 1863961 13962 Cheesy Oysters
