With all the flooding wreaking havoc on the people of San Francisco in the past two weeks, it might be a good time to sign up with a service that delivers fresh organic fruits, vegetables, and a plethora of organic groceries right to your door.  Well, I’ve got just the service for you.  A San Francisco company called SPUD will do just that.  The good folks at SPUD contacted me to see if I was interested in writing a review on their delivery service.  I had heard good things about their service, but getting an actual delivery and trying all the goodies they offered was the only way to write a solid review.  They told me my delivery day was Tuesday but did not give me a delivery time.  Tuesday morning around 10am, I heard a buzz at the door and a friendly SPUD delivery driver was standing there with a box of goodies.  To my surprise, I didn’t receive any fruits or vegetables, but instead received a variety of grocery items.  Customers can customize what they receive in their deliveries, but I opted to receive a surprise delivery selected by the people at SPUD.  There was organic apple juice, a granola bar, chocolate chip cookies, a salad kit, salsa, and chips.  After unpacking everything, my eyes were instantly drawn to the homemade chocolate chip cookies.  I took a bite and I was in heaven.  The cookies are made by a San Jose based company called Kicks Cookies and Ice Cream.  I’m a strong believer in supporting my local economy and I really appreciated that 90% of the items were produced within a 50 mile radius of San Francisco.  How do I know that you ask?  The SPUD website lists the distance all their products travel from the manufacturer to your door.  Very cool indeed!

Some cool facts about SPUD:

• Spud! is the only 100% neutral online grocer.
• Each SPUD delivery van carrying 60 orders takes 120 cars off the road.
• Spud! buys fresh every day – 95% of the produce leaves the warehouse within 24 hours.
• Any extra food is donated to local hunger relief charities.

My Recommendation: Friendly and clean delivery driver. Great selection of groceries. Focus on locally produced items. Delivered to my door so I don’t have to get soaked in the rain.  If you live more than a block away from a Whole Foods, definitely give SPUD a try. You just might fall in love.
