A letter from Courtney

By Anonymous -

The flowers are blooming, the rain has stopped (finally) and NC farmers are hard at work in the fields getting ready for their harvests! Kevin, our Crop Coordinator and resident chef, visits every farm we work with every year or so...7 so far this year....and always has great videos to share from the fields, so be sure to check out our Facebook and Instagram posts for those!

It’s hard to believe we’re celebrating our TENTH YEAR of supporting local farmers and we owe all of YOU a huge thank you for your enthusiasm, dedication, patience with Mother Nature and her antics and tactful feedback as we improve our program every year. This community of engaged and committed members has bought more than 10 Million pounds of fresh local goodness from our farm-partners over the years. That kind of impact really makes a difference!

You've probably noticed that our boxes are included more and more LOCAL produce as the berries, lettuces, bok choy, greens and spring onions grow. We'll be back to 99% local within the next two weeks as blueberries and blackberries arrived. This year, we'll offer a few regional staples year-round including potatoes, celery and carrots to help round out your family's meal choices. Feel free to filter by NCLOCAL on the menu if you want local only. And you can always check the description of each item for information about where it was grown. 



We have a lot to thank our farmers for, you know. They are the beating heart of everything we feed our families. They stick to their principles – and they are doing things the right way – even when that means that they do things the “hard” way. They restore the land, and they provide food that heals. It’s a good thing and I’m so glad you’re a part of it as a member of The Produce Box!

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

If you’re trying to decide if a Produce Box membership is for you, you may be wondering, “Can’t I get this stuff at the grocery store? And is it cheaper there?” Well, the answer to both those questions would be sometimes. The grocery store doesn’t always have everything the farmers of North Carolina can offer.  And sometimes, you may not like the reasons WHY the grocery store is cheaper. Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communities.

CSA vs. TPB: How do they compare?

Guest post from a TPB Neighborhood Coordinator A few years ago, I thought being a part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program was the best way to source my family's fresh food. It’s a great way to support a local food system: invest in the farm at the start of the growing season and get a weekly share of the crops throughout the harvest. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I joined The Produce Box and realized how much it operated like a CSA, but worked much better for my family. Wondering how they compare? Check this out: Cost. While the cost for the whole season is comparable, a CSA requires a hefty payment at the beginning of the season (or several large payments spread out over the season) to help the farmers procure, implement, and maintain everything they need for the year's crops. Paying a small enrollment fee with The Produce Box and then only when you order (every week, every other week - whatever works for you!) for a Box is much m
