You always get some seasonal staples and then there are usually a few unusual selections. I've learned so much about vegetables and what's in season in the Bay by getting these deliveries! It was always so much fun getting the box and then planning our meals for the week. If there's something really special in the box, Martha will often send an email with some facts and recipes which was always appreciated. And Martha, who does the deliveries is such a delight. Very personable and always delivers with care. They have also always been super flexible regarding travel and holding deliveries, easy just to email or text your requirements. Just realized I already left a review in 2021 which I did not remember but goes to show how much I love this service!

    My original review is below. I'm now a month in and I'm adding a star. A few reasons: the variety I…read morethink was a seasonal thing. It's improved as we start to get spring produce. There are still repeats (like so many favas and beets and spinach lol) but it's better than it was initially. They are an organic farm and it shows - ants in the box, that kind of thing. Very rustic produce - requires a good scrub and not always the prettiest but a lot of it is what I've coined "ugly delicious". Grocery stores (and restaurants) optimize for looks so the stuff in the box can look less than exciting when you get it in some cases. Strawberries that aren't plump and juicy, the tiniest peaches I've ever seen, favas that have some bruises, that kind of thing. But when you use it, the flavors are usually great. A pleasant surprise is some boxes have unexpected extras. Not sure if it is an accident but I'll take it- this week it was broccolini. Quantities are also quite good and they give you storage tips which also helps you figure out what to use first. I think it's probably somewhere between 4 and 5 stars for me- there have been some misses and some of the produce isn't always in great shape as others have noted. I find myself cooking and eating more fruits and vegetables and just being more creative in the kitchen so I consider that a win too. -- I am relatively new to CSAs and I've gotten a few boxes from Eatwell so far. I wanted to write this review as I wasn't sure what to expect or if it'd be worth it and most reviews are a little older so I hope it's useful. The good: - for $32, it's on the average to lower end of boxes I found in the Bay Area . Not an amazing deal for what you get but I think it's a pretty good price - easy to manage: you have to prepay for 4 boxes minimum so it is a commitment but you can skip a week if needed (for example I was out of town 1 week and did this on their website with no issue) and can do it every week or every 2 weeks depending on what works for you - they list their boxes plus some instructions at https://www.eatwell.com/thisweeksbox. I found this useful to refer to although sometimes their estimates on how long things would last seemed off (usually under what I found online in other places so either things are not fresh when you get them and they account for that or their estimates are just wrong, unclear) - quantities are generally pretty good. Not so much it is overwhelming but most things were enough for multiple meals depending on how many you are cooking for - I appreciated you got some citrus so there was fruit and not just veggies What could be improved: - I understand seasonality but my boxes were largely identical week over week. I looked at their past boxes too and while they do vary with the seasons, there are a ton of repeats. I did see some stuff varying and did at times get stuff I hadn't gotten before. I they could stagger or rotate a bit it might be nice. Even within a box, I found mine to have a ton of leafy greens for example and would have liked to see different types of vegetables a bit more - the quality was good but it wasn't exceptional. I have had a good amount of farm fresh produce even though I'm new to CSAs and sometimes they really make blow you away with how good things can be. All the stuff in the boxes plus the add ons were solid but nothing that was extraordinary so far. A few things I hoped would be amazing and were good but not especially noteworthy included the eggs, the avocados, the bok choy, lemons (some of those are add ons). To be fair though, some of the items which didn't look beautiful like the strawberries were actually really tasty and I think this is because grocery stores (as opposed to straight from the farm) optimize for looks over taste so here you do get the more "pure" flavorful items I did make some lovely meals from my boxes and it pushed me to try and cook things I wouldn't normally use so that was cool. Overall, a solid experience and the things I mentioned make it 4 stars from me.

I get the fruit box and I LOVE THE QUALITY!!! Everything is always so good from the apples to the blueberries. I get the majority of my fruit from here then in between deliveries will get it from the grocery store but I prefer this 1000x. I do the small box every other week and it's perfect. I started to add some other pantry items and I just love the variety and cuts down on me going to the store! Love waking up with a new package at my door!

    So far I've been very dissatisfied. The price is fair. The delivery service has been great. However…read morethe woman who answers their Customer Service lines is rude as can be and isn't even apologetic about it. She just doesn't care. I feel like she must hate waking up every day. They took my c/c info and ran my c/c before I started my service. Which I was very unhappy about. The agreement was I would sign up now and in the next few weeks or month I would email to get started. Well that didn't happen and I wanted a refund. I was in the process of moving and not ready to start service. Well the CSR didn't like that. Ive had 3 boxes shipped and 2 boxes have had rotten worm eaten food in my box. The first time I blew it off because it happens the second time I had no choice but to throw the food away. I emailed them and sent pics and I haven't gotten a response as to what they will do about it. Usually by Wednesday they send me an email that it's time to customize my box for the next week and I haven't gotten that email either. So maybe they just dropped me as a customer, idk! Very disappointed so far. I really wish they would clean this up because I really like the idea of FARM FRESH TO YOU. I love fresh organic food and it fits into my clean eating lifestyle but if I want rotten food I can go anywhere.
