Organic Home Delivery in the Tri-State Area

Local Harvest- Local Harvest works by creating a network with local organic farmers. The company started in 1998 and since then has grown to over 17,000 members with about 20 new members every day. Using this company to buy local organic products helps to promote the local economy. It is very hard for small local farmers to compete in today's market and Local Harvest helps to keep them alive. Another great feature of the sight is its map which allows users to search for local farms and markets. Local Harvest also has a Community Supported Agriculture program where participants invest in the farm and then receive periodical harvests throughout the year. An example would be a Summer Egg CSA where participants pay $125 and get a dozen farm fresh eggs every week. Local Harvest has the benefit of providing a wide range of products at great prices. Since the products are being sold directly from the farms it greatly reduces the costs from middle men. The company is great because it stimulates the local economy while delivering extremely fresh products.

Organic Direct- Organic Direct is one of the biggest organic delivery companies in the tri-state area and serves over 500 supermarkets. This means that the fresh food that is delivered to the supermarkets will instead be delivered directly to the house. Any organic product that can be bought in the store can be purchased online including meats and seafood. Depending on location consumers have delivery time slots to choose from. Also depending on location there may or may not be a delivery fee. Since the company is located out of Brooklyn, NY the closer the home is to them the cheaper the delivery fee. A typical fee for delivery to Bergen County, NJ is around $4 and there is a $75 minimum order. Organic Direct is a company to look at because they offer high quality produce and meats combined with the convenience of home delivery.
