Organic Express = Spud.com

what used to look like this:

organic express and french bulldog

now looks like this:

organic express, spud, organic produce delivery

Every other Friday I come home to a box full of fresh, local, organic produce and groceries - delivered right to my front door! {today is that day!}

What was once a small eco business called organicexpress.com is now {after merging} called Spud.com, an organic home grocery delivery service, supporting local, small-scale farmers and suppliers offering a variety of delicious organic fruits and vegetables that are tailored by you to your unique preferences. You can select individual items from the organic produce category for each delivery, or you can create your own Fresh Harvest Box for a grand total of $29.06 {$58.12mo}. Other plans are available as well. They also have organic groceries {other than produce} you can add to your Fresh Harvest Box only when you choose to. Really, it's awesome!

What's groovy too is that they donate money on your behalf to the SPUD community fund. So far, I have donated a total of $1.09 {I know, huge} but still, I am part of the climate change solution! ...and the food {not to mention the convenience of it} is delish too.

I'm not getting paid to talk about how great spud.com is, HOWEVER, I just noticed at the bottom of my receipt a coupon code CR5-993812 that will save YOU {new customers} $25 over 4 deliveries for signing up. So, do it, it's awesome!

Oh, that is SO cool.

I get fresh, local produce but it's not delivered. Lucky!! :)

Hello cute puppy! Frenchies are my favorite, next to bostons.

That is a really cool concept. I looked at the locations and it is on the west coast and Canada. I guess I will have to stick to my local farmers' market. But I like the idea.

Thanks for the sweet comment!

I love fresh produce! Fruit has to be my favorite food group. Strawberries and blueberries? Delicious!

Oh this is really cool. I stock up on fruit and veggies every week because the kids go through it so fast. Thanks for the tip!!

I will have to give this a peek. Maybe the excitement of delivery will spark an interest in my monsters to eat more greens. So far, only green jello interests them.

You have to ask to use our children for ads!

I am in Seattle and I having used the service for a few weeks, I can vehemently say STAY AWAY FROM SPUD! Every week there was a problem. When I received the last fateful $90 order that was left in the rain to spoil, I immediately contacted them. When spud! refused to even respond to my email or refund anything, I said enough. I am still waiting for my refunds from previous deliveries!

I was referred to spud! from another client who had used Pioneer Organics (of which spud! had taken over) who also noticed the recent an increase in bad produce, outrageous prices and rotten customer service. Great concept, bad implementation...too bad considering that spud! has also bought up Organic Express because now there are less competitors. Rather sad to see the negative elements of blatant capitalism take over the organic market especially when spud! promotes themselves as having "a for-profit business with the heart of a nonprofit".

Hi there! Thanks for your great words! This is Danielle, the spud! marketing maven. We really appreciate hearing from customers who are thrilled!

And for all who follow, Planeride seems to have been particularly upset by his or her experience because he or she has posted this identially review on 10+ different websites. I'm doing my best to contact them and be sure that all their concerns have been resolved. But the negative experience that they have had is NOT what we're committed to her at spud!

We're committed to transforming the food system so that local organic food is available for everyone, while having a 100% satisfaction guarantee and great customer experience!

Please feel free to contact me directly at danielle@spud.com if you have further questions or concerns!
