Is it just me or are the “lazy days of summer” a complete fabrication? We’re just a couple of weeks into summer, and not only am I completely harried by the crazy schedule my kids insist on keeping :-), but I’m finding it hard to eek out the time to make it to the grocery store, let alone the farmer’s market. My kids are snacking me to death, but having fresh produce around is seriously hard to do when schedules are tight. Who has time to hit a bunch of stores? BUT, who wants to miss out on the best time of year EVER for fruits and vegetables?!

About the Produce Box
The Produce Box delivers boxes of fresh, North Carolina local fruits and vegetables to the doorsteps of its members across the state. Members receive an e-mail each Friday with what’s in season and expected to come out of the field the next week. They have until Sunday night to choose online to order a pre-packaged box filled with produce, pick their own items to be delivered or skip for the coming week at no charge. There are no contracts, long-term commitments or confusing points systems to keep track of.
