Just want to post how pleased I am with both "carolina grown" and "papa spuds" and want to extend thanks to this thread for pointing me in their direction through posts.

I am using both of them now. Saturday delivery by carolina grown yields local produce, local milk, butter and eggs & locally grown and raised meats.

A midweek Papa Spuds delivery brings me all sorts of veggies and fruits - that are organic if not local at the moment. Although I just got local strawberries this week that are outstanding. The quality is great and the service remarkable.

Just wanted to share that I am happy with these two - I spend about $50 per week ($25 each) but I spend very little time in a grocery store these days and I really think my overall spending has gone down as a result of planning my meals around what is being delivered. Waste is definitely down which is good. Plus it is cool to get milk in a glass jar...and less chance to buy junk food.

I have now have spent two winters with papa spuds as well as one full year - I can't wait as local produce starts yielding more than lettuce and strawberries...and some carrots. Carolina Grown is relatively new to our household, but I am now enjoying eggs again - wow - what a difference fresh eggs makes to dishes.

Not affiliated in any way - just a happy customer and wanting to share with those of you that enjoy such things. We are so lucky to live here and have these two companies around!

Especially with spring coming. Although, I do feel guilt in not supporting our local farmers market (falls river). ALthough, I had gone there twice and they were sold out of eggs...so I guess it is a wash! And I usually buy flowers, so it is a budget buster. In summer, falls river farmers market has heirloom tomatoes to die for. So, I'll head back that way for blueberries and tomatoes!
