Websites providing access to local produce

 From Today: 

Remember when shopping at your local farmers market or signing up for a CSA was the only way to fill your fridge with local produce? Those days are gone. In this blink-and-its-delivered Uber-age, a crop of farm-to-fridge services—Farmigo, Good Eggs, and Our Harvest—has emerged. These companies have married technology with the local food movement and achieved remarkable results—supporting small farms, improving access to local foods, and keeping your house stocked with the best farmers market products. 

Take Brooklyn's Nextdoorganics, founded in 2011. They'll deliver a box of organic ingredients to your door via cargo bike. Just choose a box size ($20, $30, $40, or $50 depending on household), then sit back and enjoy weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly supplies of vegetables, fruits, rooftop greens, small-batch pantry items, and house made snacks; add proteins of choice as you wish. If you live too far to bike, delivery is also available through overnight UPS within 300 miles of New York City.

Good Eggs, founded in 2011 with a mission to grow and sustain local food systems worldwide, offers an a la carte shopping experience in San Francisco and the Bay Area. (The company did provide services in Brooklyn, select areas in Manhattan, Los Angeles and New Orleans, but announced Wednesday that they were shutting down those operations).
