NRDC's Great Green Gift Guide

"I'd like to give all my terribly busy friends in the New York area a weekly delivery of organic food from Urban Organic. The company buys produce, groceries and dairy goods in bulk from organic cooperatives, distributors and individual farmers and drops them off in grocery boxes at your door." - November, 2007

Give It to Me Raw

"It is really fantastic to have such reasonably priced, and green conscious service in the tristate area, nothing like the big corp competitor with its still green fruits, and piles of plastic and paper waste... I so highly recommend it! I really didn’t know there could be such a huge difference in the texture and taste of a fruit when it is grown right. Help saving this planet is quite a fantastic thing after all." - December, 2007

"Fortunately, it's getting easier to get organic produce. Most major supermarkets are regularly stocking some organic produce. ... For urban dwellers, organic produce delivery services are becoming more available. In the New York area, services like www.urbanorganic.com provide convenient delivery service... These type of services offer convenience and most of the time the prices are competitive or even cheaper than the supermarket." - undated

Charlie Suisman's MUG-Manhattan Users Guide.com

"For over a decade, the Brooklyn company Urban Organic has been offering New Yorkers a weekly delivery of certified organic fruits and veggies from organic farmers' cooperatives, distributors, and local farmers. In spite of all the johnny-come-latelys, they're still MUG's pick for reliably tasty, fresh, chemical-free produce. You get a choice of box sizes, starting at $24.99 (about a dozen items), up to the Super-Value Box ($54.99) and there's a one-time membership fee of $25. The Original Value Box, $34, contains 15-18 items ($34) and will include things like arugula, carrots, peppers, potatoes, bananas, tangerines, and pears. There's lots of seasonal variation and you can let them know if you want them to omit certain items. You can also buy a range of organic groceries. Urban Organics motto, 'save money, save time, save the planet', may sound like a stretch, at least until you take your first bite." - June, 2008
