Door to Door Organics is a food delivery company that will deliver farm-fresh organic produce & curated natural, local groceries to a client’s door every week. The service was created in order to help families
avoid “parking-lot angst”, checkout-line waits & junk-food siren calls. This way they can ensure that organic food will be part of their family diet every week without the hassle of having to pick it up themselves. Currently the service is active in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, with the hope of expanding into other states in the future.
Door to Door Organics also connects users to a community of people committed to green and healthy living, with newsletters, seasonal recipes, and stories from local farmers. Most but not all of Door to Door Organics Food is certified organic by the USDA, because the company strives to include small artisanal farmers that cannot afford certification or non-GMO verification, since the promise of “good food” the company offers is also built on supporting local farmers and communities. The company also ensures that all food is animal welfare safe, sustainably raised or caught, free-range, and caters to specific dietary restrictions.
Providing people the incentive to eat local, fresh, organic, and environmentally friendly food is crucial in a world of increased resource use, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation. Educating communities on the health benefits and the ease of eating food that doesn’t come with an intense carbon footprint, but is grown locally and supports their community can ease some of the geographic strains on our world.
