A fabulous service offered in the metro areas of both Portland, OR and Vancouver,
WA, is called Organics to You. The food service began in 2001
in Portland, but due to the high demand of quality fruits and vegetables and the competitive prices of the merchandise,
it quickly expanded North to Vancouver. Organics to You uses local farmers who are dedicated to growing food in the
nurturing environment of chemical and pesticide free soils. Not only is the company committed to pure foods, it is also
devoted to the environment and local communities in numerous ways. The trucks used for deliveries are currently being
converted to bio-diesel engines, incentives are offered to members who also
convert to green power for their own transportation. Local schools benefit from donations of the organic fruits and
vegetables, as well as community fundraising and social events. The service is user friendly and easy to begin. By signing up on-line a customer can choose from various bin sizes that suit their needs. Bins range in prices from $23 to $52 depending on individual needs. The company provides the bin and delivers it each week straight from the farm. Contents can be customized for specific tastes and the size can change depending upon customer request. A small variety of other organic items, such as milk, eggs and cheese, can be delivered as well. This is a wonderful way for customers to enjoy clean food while the farmers benefit from working with a small company that is interested in encouraging a healthy lifestyle.
