Organics to You Update

I've been meaning to post an update on my most recent Organics to You deliveries for over two weeks now, which is why I'll be listing the contents of my last two bins rather than just the one I got on Tuesday.  For those of you who've heard me rave and rave about this service in person, (and especially those who have asked me questions about it) this will give you a good idea of what kinds of varieties you can expect with the organic produce delivery service I use (at least for now). 

If you need some background, see some of my older posts about Organics to You.  Otherwise, I'll let you know that I get a "small bin" with a "fruit add-on."  I usually get my delivery every other week (that's just the schedule I chose) and the cost is $48 per delivery.
