We get the weekly delivery of the produce box. I am very disappointing by this produce box. When I was sold the box, they said they would first try to add fresh locally grown produce when in season and supplement with non-local items as needed. I have now gone through a whole summer getting this box and still we might get one locally grown item out of about 10 things. Summer boxes should be completely local fresh produce! Last week I got a huge bag of about 15 limes. What the heck am I going to do with 15 limes. The box is lame and I can't cancel due to a fat cancellation fee in the fine print of the contract. \r

Update: I have now suffered through the entire 40 week contract. Not only was the variety in the box horrible, but the quality was consistently bad. Literally every week I had about 3 rotten things in the box. Of course you don't know on half of them until you cut it open when you are getting ready to use it in a dish that requires that veggie. Now you're left scrambling to try and substitute that veggie or running to the store to replace it and finish the meal. Last week I had 5 avocados and thought I could use them for the Superbowl. The day of the Superbowl comes and I cut the avocados for guacamole and ALL 5 were brown & disgusting. I'm not talking a rare thing here. This was every single week.
