CT Farm Fresh

Here in Connecticut, we have this great thing called CT Farm Fresh.  It's an organization that partners with local farms around the state to deliver fresh and local food directly to your door from farms around the state.  Every week, CT Farm Fresh calls up the farms that it partners with and asks them what they've got for that week.  After tallying it all up, all of the listings are put on a webstore (CT Farm Fresh Store) which goes up every Thursday afternoon sometime I believe.  Whatever you order is then delivered the following Thursday, and you're given a timeframe that's far more reliable than any home repairman or UPS delivery I've ever experienced.

You get to choose what you want and when you want it.  We've only ordered once, but it was great.  You pay a small delivery fee, which makes it worthwhile to stock up, instead of ordering just a few things every week.  The store runs the gamut of veggies, fruits, cheese and other dairy products, baked goods, meats, and other farm products.  Instead of spending a whole week driving across the state in search of fresh food from local farms, consider getting it delivered to your door!
