Door To Door Organics Giveaway!

141 Comments

There’s nothing quiiiiiite like coming home from a lengthy day of work to a box brimming with all the organic produce a girl could ever dream of.

DDO

And trust me, I’ve had produce dreams more than once. More than thrice.

When Door to Door Organics reached out to me about reviewing their online grocery delivery service and using their items in a seasonal recipe, it was a no brainer. I love grocery shopping, but I don’t mind having the conveinece of online shopping and quick doorstep delivery done for me here and there!  Since 1997, they’ve been delivering organic, natural and local groceries and they JUST added Columbus as one of their delivery locations! Heyooooo.

Columbus is on the map, people. No big deal. But kind of a huge deal.

So how does it work? First, you log in and select a produce box based on the size of your family and how much produce you want. Then you choose a delivery day and set preferences for your likes and dislikes. You can customize your order each week. Shop for additional groceries and you’re all set! Delivery is free.

There’s no commitment, so you can cancel anytime. Boxes start at $25.99 and you can always make 5 substitutions to your weekly pre-set box based on the huge selection of organic vegetables and fruit (local when possible!). Not all of the groceries are 100% organic in an effort to avoid excluding the small, local artisan food producers who aren’t yet able to afford the organic certification or non-GMO verification. I can get down with that philosophy.

In addition to filling your box with fab produce galore, you can boost your box by shopping 1,000 grocery items, such as frozen foods (Amy’s meals!), pantry staples, ethnic foods, tons vegan options, gluten-free items, non-GMO snacks, and other local products. If you’re a carnivore, they have a nice selection of quality beef, chicken, eggs, cheese, and more. I actually bought the boyfriend some grass-fed ground beef and organic eggs! He was pleased.I also love that Door to Door Organics partners with local farmers and artisans like Hartzler Family Dairy, Shagbark Seed & Mill, and Bowman & Landes.

I filled my box with mushrooms, celery, grapefruit, apples, red onion, thyme, green onions, potatoes, cauliflower, bell peppers, oranges, eggs, kale. All organic! It was delivered in a big box, nice and cold and ready for the fridge.

The site was super easy to navigate and I had fun going through all the other options other than produce. There were lots of items that I actually buy already like Ezekiel bread, Mary’s Gone Crackers, Hope Foods hummus, Muir Glen salsa, Sunbutter, quinoa, Amy’s soups, coconut oil, frozen spinach, tempeh, almond milk, and even Justin’s dark chocolate peanut butter cups!  That’s what I think sets Door to Door Organics apart from other delivery services. It’s so much more than just produce! I could definitely see myself purchasing these other items through them.

I really like the idea of planning meals around the food I’m ordering. The site also has a “shop by recipe” feature where you can find items to purchase based on the recipe’s ingredients. How groovy is that?

Price is one aspect that may turn people off to this concept. Everything is organic and essentially you’re paying for the convenience of having food delivered. Some people think that that in itself is worth the extra cost, and others don’t. It’s a personal preference.

  1. I’m huge on organics so I’d pretty much make any and everything I cook in my home…maybe if I received kale I would make some kale/sausage/bean soup

  6. Even though I love grocery shopping some weeks are crazy and the convenience of delivery is always a good thing! Would love to do something with fresh herbs- finding nice fresh looking ones at the grocery store can be a challenge this time of year.

  9. I’ve actually heard about this up here in Cleveland, just haven’t tried it yet! Most of my go to lunches end up as a quinoa bowl with lots and lots of veggies – usually whatever is in season around here, so it’s awesome they use local produce that I could use in these! I try to do as much organic as possible but this would make it easier to be guaranteed organic!!!

    Reply

  12. I love organics and try to buy them when I can. If I got this delivered to my home I would make a big pot of veggie soup for lunches for the week!

    Reply

  14. I would make a winter soup of some sort! We have been blessed with warm weather but it looks like winter is coming within the next week! Wah!!

  18. I have a nice organic spaghetti squash I’m going to stuff today with some grass fed beef, delicious cheeses and pumpkin. Yum!!

  20. Hi Alexis!

    I’m a college student ballin on a budget, but I know that means I shouldn’t compromise the quality of the food I buy! I recently gave up red meat and processed meat for personal and environmental reasons, so if I won the giveaway, I’d make some bomb veggie or salad recipes such as your Fall Superfoods Salad or Basil Balsalmic Chickpea and Kale Salad!

    Reply

  21. i just made this delicious roasted buttenut squash and spinach enchilada casserole. I would love to make it again with cauliflower, mushrooms, and kale

    Reply

  24. I DO use a food delivery service already so I’m already a fan of the concept. This one looks even better because of the choice involved with my delivery! I definitely will try it!

    Reply

  28. I’m the healthy weirdo in my family, so I will be making some beautiful salad (one of your kale options?) for Thanksgiving!

    Reply

  29. Being gluten-free again and a pescatarian, I would use the produce to whip up a gluten free Thanksgiving meal for myself (and others!) to bring to this year’s family get together. Since I can’t eat the majority of the foods at Thanksgiving due to vegetarian diet and gluten, I usually have to pack a mini meal for myself. This would let me roast some veggies for your awesome “vegan stuffing,” make some cauliflower mashed “potatoes,” and a crustless pumpkin pie! I am super excited to prep this year’s miniture Thanksgiving and share with anyone who wants to try :)

    Also, following you on Twitter and put the wrong name in (it should be @LauraSutro, not @sutro91)

    Thanks for reviewing them! They look awesome!

  39. I love the idea of these services! I’ve been trying to convince my husband that this is a good idea for us for awhile now (especially since we are expecting our first baby soon!)…maybe a trial box would do the trick! ;) If I received this box I would definitely make a hearty vegetable soup and a delicious salad!

    Reply

  41. This would make my life so much easier!! Especially as an RN working night shifts!!! I LOVE fresh fruit, and would use the veggies for creative new soups.

    Reply

  43. I’d make a huge salad to munch on all week or a frittata, being in grad school means quick meals for me but that doesn’t mean they can’t be healthy :)

    Reply

  45. This is such a great idea! If I got this organic food I would probably make a healthy version of a vegetable pizza for a friends night!

    Reply

  49. i’d take advantage of the crockpot and whip up a delish, comforting stew that’s waiting for me at the end of the day!

    Reply

  52. WHAT WOULDNT I MAKE!!! zoodles and cauliflower rice burrito bowls and budha bowls and bomb fall salads-oh my!

    Reply

  56. Looks like some of the perfect fixings for a Thanksgiving Day stuffing – onion, apple, kale, celery, mushrooms and thyme! One of my favorite holidays and it is here in a week!

  138. I echo some comments below regarding the fact you can 'demote' links but cannot 'promote them'Also, the results take up too much space with the amount of sitelinks now showing, which pushes other results down the page and therefore the user has to scroll to see other SERPs results.
