New Leaf: Organic Produce Boxes
Just past Devon in Rogers Park is New Leaf: Natural Grocery.
A flier with coupons, a couple for Organic Valley dairy, a fair trade coffee coupon was under my door last week.
A specific offering is the Organic Produce Box which is a week’s supply of, what else, organic produce.
The contents of our boxes change weekly, but to
give you an idea of the quantity, listed below is a sample from their
website of a $15 box.
2 peaches
6 simka plums
4 oranges
1/8 watermelon
3 gala apples
2 kiwi
2 ears of corn
2 tomatoes
1/2 head romaine lettuce
1/2 bunch spinach
1/2 bunch broccoli
1/3lb. green beans
3 yukon gold potatoes
Just fruit boxes always include 1-3 extra types of fruit.
Also nice is that they offer hormone/anti-biotic free meat.
This is New Leaf’s mission:
“THINK SUSTAINABLE, BUY LOCAL
We
are strong advocates of gonfiabili local family owned farms, and strive to fill
our produce boxes and our shelves with as many local goods as possible
– a practice which strengthens the sustainability of our community. “
