It's Like Christmas Every Two Weeks Around Here

Hooray!  Today was a Timber Creek Farms delivery day.  If you live in Indiana, Illinois or Wisconsin, you are likely in an area where your family can experience the fun that we do with a produce delivery from Timber Creek Farms.

Really, I could go on and on, but why don't you just take a peak at what we received in our boxes today:


Oh, phooey, I forgot to add these because we grabbed them for a soccer game snack:

 
And a tomato and two apples were gone before I snapped the picture .... but you get the idea, right?  

This is the box called the Farmer's Market Box and typically it is automatically delivered to my door every other Thursday.  The part that makes it like Christmas is that we never know exactly what we are going to get.  For example, this week included fennel, bok choy and green mustard.  Typically these particular vegetables wouldn't make my shopping list, but when included in my fruit and veggie box, I have the opportunity to educate myself about an item and figure out what to do with it.  YUM!

The kids always gravitate towards the fruit box, of course.  Every delivery there is something different for them to enjoy.  As they unloaded the box, a couple of my grapefruit loving kids were chatting away about how they could not wait for breakfast tomorrow morning.  

And guess what? With the delivery fee the Farmer's Market Box is less than $55.  What a deal for organic produce I didn't have to drive to the store for!  

Typically I will receive my boxes and then plan out some meals to make the best use of all these great whole foods.  These boxes become the base of our dinners for the next several days and snacks become a no-brainer.

I have used Timber Creek Farms for many years and have come to appreciate their efficient service and excellent produce.  Give it a try and eliminate some of your grocery trip while being assured that you are getting whole food that has not been engineered or contaminated.  

There are many different types of boxes you can order depending on your family size and preferences.  Visit Timber Creek Farms at tcforganics.net, call them at 630-553-1119 or email valerie@tcforganics.net.  Tell them Erin Taylor sent you and let me know how you like your box if you decide to give it a try.
