I have loved fruits ever since I was young. My parents really encouraged us to eat fruits and vegetables so it wasn’t hard for me to get used to it. I even remember our Santa Claus putting more fruits than chocolates and candies in our Christmas socks.
Now that I have a son, I want to also encourage him to love eating fruits and vegetables. And I think I’m succeeding so far because my sister-in-law just told me that she saw my son take some vegetables from my husband’s plate, eat it and say “I’m stronger now!”
Thing is, I don’t always have time every single week to go out and shop for fruits and vegetables. Recently though, I discovered a service called Farm Fresh To You.
Farm Fresh To You delivers fresh, seasonal produce directly to your door. They offer an ever-increasing selection of organic fruits and vegetables, as well as other groceries like olive oil, organic eggs or fresh flowers. Now we can get our weekly shopping done in minutes and discover how easy it is to get our family to eat more fruits and veggies.
You can order fruits and/or vegetables for as low as $26. I ordered a “Mixed Fruit and Veggie” More box which usually costs $46, but I customized it and added a few more items so it cost $49.
My box contained baby bok choy, baby broccoli, carrots, celery, collard greens, green kale, red grapes, red plums, mini seedless watermelon, valencia oranges, white corn, and yellow peaches.
I’m using some of the produce I ordered for juicing and some for plain simple snacking.
I just got into juicing and was drawn to it because I’ve read about how juicing helps us get more nutrients into our system. Right now, I’m just drinking green juice as a daily supplement. But I’m looking into maybe doing a juice cleanse one time. For now, here are some combinations of fruits and vegetables I used:
- Combination of: 1 bundle green kale, 3 celery stalks, 3 carrots, 1 orange, 1 apple
- Combination of: 5 carrots, 3 celery stalks, 1 pear
- Combination of: 1 bundle kale, 1 bundle baby bok choy, 1 leaf of collard greens, 1 orange
I simply run the fruits and vegetables through my juicer and it does its job! I like to add 1-2 ice cubes to my juice because I like my green juice really cold.
I also like to eat my fruits fresh as it is. That watermelon didn’t even last a day at home. As soon as I cut it up (and after I took some pictures), everyone here just devoured it! It tasted so good! I really loved it!
My son, on the other hand, really enjoyed the grapes. They had the right tenderness and were sweet too. It wasn’t like some of the overly tender grapes I sometimes buy in stores.
The grapes did last us 2 days, but that’s just because we ate the watermelon first and just reserved the grapes for the following day.

I am not a big fan of veggies! Or, veggie smoothies. I love fruit! But, fruit is so expensive, that I can’t have them all the time! I would love too indulge myself in lots of fruits, but I don’t have the funds.
I love the idea of having produce delivered. My husband probably wouldn’t go for it because he likes to inspect and hand pick the items himself.
These fruits and veggies look so nice and fresh. This sounds like a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing
I love veggies! This is such a great service
A great service for many people…..I think this could even encourage more people to eat veggies/fruits!
This is really nice not only for the quality produce but also for people who might not have the time to go shopping. The produce is probably better quality than some grocery stores as well.
That would be great! I like farmers markets in the summer for my produce.

Farm Fresh To You is a great subscription box for people who live too far away from the grocery store or are unable to go shopping, this is very convenient. Thank you for sharing this review.
I have a friend who has done this. It’s all from local farms correct? Love this idea!
Yes, Katrina! They work with local farms to give you fresh local produce. 🙂

Thanks for the Fantastic Review on Order Fresh Fruits And Veggies Online With Farm Fresh To You! This service sounds terrific, however, I think it’s a bit on the pricy side. I guess you pay more to have it delivered right to your door! I love the fruit that you received! It looked so fresh and delicious! I love to have fresh fruit in the house not just for me, but for the kids as well! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic review, the pictures, and your personal and professional opinions on Order Fresh Fruits And Veggies Online With Farm Fresh To You with all of us! You know that I truly do appreciate it! Thanks again! Michele 🙂

Wow what a good way to get fresh fruit from real people I seem to be having all kinds of problems finding good fruit this year I have bought 2 watermelons and they both were not sweet or very good, I will check this place out

First of all, thank you for making it easy to comment. Some of these blogs are impossible to comment on. You are very lucky to live where you can get such a wide variety of fresh fruits & veggies. I do think this is a bit expensive, but with the $10 off maybe! Love the fresh-from-the-farm thing! We have a subscription thing that is similar, here in Illinois, but only in the summer/fall months! ENJOY! Thank you!!!
When we don’t grow our own, we always like to buy locally. It’s much fresher than store bought.
Wow! That’s awesome! I personally, would like to grow all my food so I know where it comes from, but since that’s pretty much impossible, this is a great alternative!

I like to can fresh produce in the summer to eat in the winter.
This is such a great idea! I am going to have to see if this is available in my area.
Such a great way to get more people to eat more fruits & veggies!
Farmer’s market tomorrow. Should be lots of good stuff.
this sounds good , its hard to find fresh veggies in my one horse town..

When we don’t grow our own, we buy locally. It’s much better than store bought.
I can”t wait to move next year. We are buying our own place finally and I can have my garden again. This year in the city has really made me miss my chickens, eggs, and two gardens! Farm fresh food is so important!
That watermelon looks delicious! I’ve never tried a drink using fruits and vegetables. I have heard that they can be quite tasty.
I don’t allows get to go out or have time with my son with Autism at the stores so this would really be a good idea for me. I am going to check into this one. I like that I can shop and they deliver it right to my door.
I really miss eating the fresh fruit and vegetables over the winter. Anything that can be had locally is over priced and not very good.
I am lucky I have a brother that grows all kinds of fruit & veggies plus there is a farmers market around the corner.
This sounds like a great service. We love vegetables and fruits here.
Wow! I’ll admit I’ve always been wary about ordering food online, especially fruits and veggies, but the quality and bargain of this deal really impresses me. Thanks for sharing…I think I’ll be more open minded now when it comes to ordering food over the internet!
The produce and fruit look real good. I would just have concerns about the shipping because even if it was able to be returned if bad. That would be a big hassle. If it was established it came great then I will love this.
I love the idea of having veggies and fruits delivered to my door. I checked and they don’t deliver in my are :/
Great looking stuff!
It’s good to encourage children to eat fruit and vegetables from a young age. I was never big on feeding the kids sweets as a reward. A good piece of fruit can taste better than candy.
Nice, but out of our budget. Organic is better, however they need to be competitive in price for the average or below average income family. Fruits and vegetables are best for a snack or used in a homemade snack. I’ve used homegrown zucchini in breads before and the other day used our homegrown carrots to make a carrot cake, which was so delicious.
I’ve heard that smoothies made with fruit and vegetables can be tasty. I’d love to try one but am not fond of many vegetables.
After our vacation I will consider this service. I eat organic but do not get out much as I am retired. I have allergies to so many foods that I eat mostly fruits and vegetables. Having them delivered saves me gas.
It’s a neat service to use! They look just as fresh,as I buy at my local fruit stand!!
I would be interested in ordering on line. Thank you for the information.
This is such a awesome idea. Although I would rather pick my fruit and vegetables individually myself.
I like the idea but prefer to hand pick my produce. I wonder if they’d bring over a selection to go through and choose, or do you take what you get?
We grow as much as we can. Then we can,
I love the grapes. Well any of them. This is a good way to get the right vitamins.
I absolutely love this idea! There is nothing better than fresh fruit and veggies, especially straight from the farm. I have always wanted to do something like this too, I think it would be an awesome surprise to see which I would get next!
This would be so nice–I’ll have to check it out!
Oh I am drooling. The produce looks so yummy! We grow a lot of our own food, but we live in a cold region so there are no fruit trees around. Sure would love that!
We have bountiful baskets, that comes to our area.
This sound good like to try this
Great idea for those busy times. Everything looks so fresh.
Thanks for sharing a few smoothie combinations I may not have put together.
I have never ordered online before. The pictures look delicious. Thank you for the information.
this is a great idea, but my husband likes to pick out the produce.
This sounds like an outstanding program. I know we have some Farmer’s markets on weekends in our area. I will look for something similar that suits in our area.
Looks delicious and nutritious!
How convenient to have the fruit/veggies shipped right to the house!
With all of the online conveniences, this could work for some families.
Thanks. I might try.
I have never heard of this site before and it sounds amazing and would be a great time saver for our family.
What a brilliant idea! I love it!
I’ve never tried a vegetable smoothie. I’ve heard that they can be good when mixed with fruit.
I LOVE fresh fruit & veggies…the fresher the better!
There is nothing as good as farm fresh produce!
This looks like a great service. I am not sure if they are in my area here in the Chicago suburbs.
We grow our own food, have a big garden, but this would be perfect for people living in the city who have no yard
I have never ordered online before. May have to try sometime.
This is the first I’ve heard of this company. For me this would be great. I don’t drive and getting to the store is difficult. So having a delivery like this is wonderful. I’m going to check and see if it’s available where I live. Thank you.

I would love to try out Farm Fresh to You, but last time I checked they didn’t deliver in our area. I will just have to keep checking.
This is great in so many ways.
Love the idea! Wish we had this kind of service over here!
Love the idea. Wish we had this kind of service over here.

What a fabulous service! I feel like I’d try more new things if they just showed up at my house 🙂 I love experimenting with new veggies!
Summer is barely over and I’m already missing fresh tomato and watermelon. Produce at the grocery store, over the winter months, is expensive and just doesn’t taste the same.
This sounds amazing. Thank you for sharing this service with us.
This sounds great need to try this
Fresh fruits and vegetables are always best. We buy locally whenever possible.
This sounds like a great service, I’m always running out of produce without realizing it until I’m in the middle of making dinner and this would be a great timesaver.
Thank you for the information. Sounds like a great idea.
What a spectacular idea! I can see how this would be of great service to folks who would otherwise think of the convenience of the supermarket as the only practical solution.
God bless,
Miles
What lovely produce and thank you for your review of this delivery service.
That sounds like a good service. Especially for those that can’t get around easily.
This is a cool service. The internet has opened up our world to NEVER having to leave the house again!! LOL
Fresh fruits and vegetables are sounding pretty good right now. In the winter it’s almost impossible to find anything decent.
I love those! This could really be a great way to get fresh food! Thanks for sharing!
This is pretty awesome and very convenient. I really need to look into this!
I love this! Really great! Your review was spot on! Thank you!
I really need more vegetables in my diet. I’ve never thought about juice. I’ve heard that when mixed with fruit, you often can’t taste the vegetables. I should check into buying a juicer.
This sounds great. And the fruit looks very good.
Looks good . I love fresh fruit and vegetable. They are so much better than canned. I usually dont juice them – never thought of that .thanks for the information.
This is the time of year I’m craving fresh fruit and vegetables. I never used to like them, but my tastes are changing. I can no longer tolerate any type of ground meat.
What a great idea! I have the greatest respect for anyone who thinks up these projects!
I love that you was able to order your veggies online, I wouldn’t mind doing that, I enjoy my veggies and fruit and I don’t mind mixing them together to make a nice smoothie,,
