now in season

Greenling’s Local Box

Backyard gardens aren’t always easy to come by—and neither is time for tending crops. Enter the concept of the organic vegetable delivery service. Each week, subscribers receive an e-mail notification of which crops are in season, check off their preferences, and receive a box of mixed produce.

Last year, Jon Duffy and Mason Arnold of Greenling Organic Delivery kicked their box service up a notch—offering their customers an all-local box option.

“We had a big interest in sustainability, which is a big buzzword right now,” Duffy says. “Local organic produce was an easy way to jump in.”

Offering a mix of ever-changing contents from a large spectrum of local farmers is key, Duffy says. Imagine, for instance, a July 4th banquet of peaches, berries, sunflower sprouts, micro-greens, jalapeños, melon, dill and squash. All organic, and all from a 150-mile radius of Austin and the Hill Country.
