Papa Spuds is bringing the farmers market to your door. For those of us that can't commit to a CSA (community supported agriculture), this is a great way to get fresh produce and increase your fruit and veggie consumption.
Most of Papa Spuds' suppliers are organic and local - Papa Spuds was started to "give local farmers another forum to showcase and sell their products," according to co-founder Rob, a Raleigh native.
The really cool part about Papa Spuds? You get to "trade" stuff you don't want for stuff you do. Produce is assigned "credit" value, and you can trade it as you wish. As an example, I didn't want collard greens this week, so I traded it for local apple cider.
I've been really happy with my deliveries so far, and the assortment I've received has really gotten me out of a produce slump. Biggest accomplishment so far? Learning how to conquer the almighty winter squash.
The downside? They currently only service SW Durham -- but are looking to expand. If you are out of their delivery zone, let me know and I can help you find a solution.
