Michael and I have started using Box Fresh, a fruit and veggie delivery service, and it's kind of wonderful. It's similar to a farmshare, like many of some of our DC friends subscribe to. The difference that I like about Box Fresh is that you don't need to sign up for a certain number of weeks or months. If you want a box one week, you order it. If you want to set it up to come every week or every other week, or some other frequency, you can do that too. You can see ahead of time what will be included in next week's boxes, and decide based on that. The produce comes super fresh, so I don't have to dig through a bin of avocados to find the perfect one, and everything lasts several days (and some items a few weeks in the fridge).
We end up with some fruits or veggies we might not otherwise buy, and then have to get more creative with our cooking/prep. Sometimes the creativity goes well, like discovering kale is really good in smoothies. Sometimes it does not go so well, like discovering that arugula is awful in smoothies.
The most wonderful thing about this for me, personally, is that I don't have to lug it all home like I have to do with almost all of our other groceries. They just appear at our apartment, like magic.
