Green Porch Co-op

At GreenPorch, we deliver you organic groceries all year round. Our boxes are customizable, there is no delivery charge and we have a 100% quality guarantee. We source our products as local as possible in season. We are significantly fresher and also cost less than the grocery store, as we don't have the waste or overhead of a storefront. The service is week to week so there is no commitment - come try us out! We really think you will love us :) Delivery Hours We try to deliver when people are home. So our window is from 4:30-9:00 on Thursday evenings. We will always try to ring the doorbell and get you at the door. If you're not available, we will leave the box in a shaded safe area (you are able to stipulate where in your account setup). If you are in a condo or apartment and need special assistance, let us know, or fill out the details in your account setup. Rest assured that the boxes are guaranteed, so if worst case scenario something happens to the box, we will take care of the cost for you. Customizations Our customization window is available to you at no extra cost and is open Friday evenings until Sunday at midnight. We will email you a notification to log on and there you will find the anticipated contents. We also post all the anticipated selections here on our Facebook page on the weekend. With a few simple clicks, you can change the composition of your box to perfectly suit your needs or preferences for the week. We also recognize that there are some conditions that are unlikely to change - like allergies or food preferences - and for that reason, you can also set a list of 5 "exclusions" - items you never want to receive - and we will ensure these foods never make it into your box. Quality We are fortunate to have such great relationships with our farmers that our food comes in to us in the morning and is delivered to you the exact same day. So should you find anything in your box that you're not satisfied with, we'll credit you with no questions asked...at the grocery store, the food may have been sitting on the shelf or in the bins for awhile. Our produce is extremely fresh because we deliver it to you the same day we receive it. If for some reason you are not fully satisfied with your order - let us know! We want to make it right! Product Availability Most customers appreciate the enormous variety of organic produce that we offer week to week. Our service is highly customizable, and a lot of our produce is difficult to come by in anything but the most well-stocked organic grocers. Also, we deliver fresh to your door, every week, with absolutely no delivery charge. What's In A Box? The contents of each delivery vary week to week, depending on what is fresh and in season. Generally, our mixed boxes will contain approximately 2/3 vegetables, 1/3 fruit, but we also offer, just fruit and just vegetable boxes, and we are adding juicing boxes too. We keep the contents of each delivery interesting, varied and usable, while ensuring you get the absolute best value possible. Every delivery can also be fully customized at no extra charge, so "more of this, less of that, add a couple of those..." is only ever a click away. The cost ranges from #30.99-$60.99 depending on the box size and type. Where Does The Food Come From? The GreenPorch purchasing mandate places a strong emphasis in sourcing from small and mid scale growers and producers, located as close to you as possible. Our program ensures that wherever possible, product is sourced regionally in order to support local economies. Though we seek, wherever possible, to reduct the footprint of all our activities and to reduce the number of miles travelled, farm-to-fork. As any Canadian knows, the availability of local produce here is heavily seasonal. For this reason, we choose to support our local contents with imported product where necessary with a greater presence of non-local items through the winter and spring. Except where extremely limited alternatives exist (kiwis, for example), we do not purchase food from outside of the Americas. Due to concerns about growing, handling and shipping practices, we do not purchase any food from China. Can I Cancel? You can cancel your service at any time, though we"ll fight to the bitter end to make you so happy you can't imagine life without us. Our system offers user account features which allow you to make changes to your account anytime with a few keystrokes and a click of the mouse. Pause for vacations, update preferences and address details, modify your next order or cancel the service altogether. If you prefer to call indoor account changes we"re happy to assist by phone as well.
