If eating local is a priority for you, but the places near you don't carry locally sourced produce, then perhaps it's time to look into a food delivery service. Trend Hunter Senior Editor Jaime Neely counts down her top picks for organic delivery, from sustainable food subscriptions to seasonal vegetable deliveries
and online foodie marketplaces.
One food delivery service is in the form of a social network. FarmersWeb connects buyers, farmers and foodies to not only promote local food but also to bring people together who are interested in making a social impact. Door To Door Organics is a more traditional food delivery service. Meanwhile Growing Places Enterprises is dedicated to creating jobs within the local food industry in addition to providing people with healthy locally sourced food.
