What's great about Farm Box LA in particular is their support of local farmers known to have some of the best produce around, such as Weiser Farms and Tutti Fruitti. You can be sure you'll get ripe produce that is in season and therefore tastes as good as it gets.
In addition to Fruit & Veggie Boxes, they have a variety of other options, including the Complete Farm Box (includes grass-fed meats, a balanced mix of produce, dairy products, bread, fresh juice and local artisanal goods). Specialty boxes like Juicing Boxes and Crossfit/Paleo are also available. Deliveries can be customized to fit your preferences, and each box includes a weekly newsletter with recipes.
The thing that makes Farm Box LA even more special is their eco-sustainable business practices. Deliveries are packed in reusable produce bags and baskets to eliminate waste. They also provide services such as taking leftover produce to a food bank or farms for composting. They can even turn your leftovers into jams and preserves if you like!
Nut milks are all the rage, but the store-bought varieties contain added ingredients that are less than ideal. Aside from attempting to make it at home, are there any alternatives? Jeff Leaf, founder of Mylkman (the first almond milk delivery service in the nation) says yes.
Jeff's almond milk is made with freshly-cracked coconuts and raw organic almonds. It's packed with nutrients and is completely free of sweeteners, additives and GMO's. The best part is you get it delivered fresh to your door on the day it is made. You can make your delivery eco-friendly by refilling your glassbottles. Mylkman services areas throughout Los Angeles County with weekly almond milk deliveries made on Thursdays.
