I'll keep coming back for the produce, but I'll be skipping the deli counter for now on until staffing improves and this gets addressed some day.

Who out there likes Christmas? What if I said you could experience Christmas-like joy every…read moreWednesday? We found out you can, right here in Wilmington, by signing up for a new local produce delivery service called The Produce Box. We signed up after skyrocketing bills at Tidal Creek had us reevaluating our grocery budget. Our friends in Raleigh have been doing this for a while and I guess it is a service catching on across the country....glad to see something as cool as this in Wilmington. What is it, you ask? $22 a week and you get a good size box of locally grown, farm fresh produce to your DOOR. Yes, right to your front step. Essentially, its the same stuff at the local farmers market, but delivered. We are simply amazed and excited each week when our box comes...to top it off, they throw in samples of maple butter, bbq, honey, etc and you get a friendly note from farmers and produce box coordinators with recipes and what is going on in their world. Financially, we did the math and you'd have to atleast spend $40-50 a week depending on the produce for the same price. Buying direct from farmers really does make sense.... Nothing we've done so far in Wilmington has made us feel so connected to the community as a whole. No subscription, cancel anytime and if you are on vacation you just login and "skip a week" Real easy. After doing this for about 6 weeks, we've seen our grocery budget get back to normal (probably less) and you really feel like you are part of something special going on.... Here are the boxes for this week (they change each week depending on what is in season and what is fresh) - and, they offer "stock up" options like if you want some cucumbers for pickling. Just check out the site, you'll see.... Box A 6 ears of corn Blueberries(one pint) 3-4 red tomatoes Sweet Potatoes or New Potatoes Cucumbers Squash/zucchini Box B 6 ears of corn Blueberries 2-3 red tomatoes 1-2 Green tomatoes Squash Variety: includes papaya squash, regular and golden zucchini Cucumbers Box C (FARMERS CHOICE BOX) 6 ears of corn Blueberries Beans (either green beans, was or pole beans) The rest is FARM choice....

I am like a little kid waiting for my box full of fresh goodness to arrive every week. I've never had anything bad. If it's something I don't like, I simply trade it like lunch with a coworker! I made apple pie last week from the apples and OMG it was amazing!!! I'm a pie baker and in my 20 years of baking, I've never had better quality apples. The squash was incredible, I've made ravioli and bisque that rivals anything you'll find in a restaurant. Plus the "samples" new stuff that you get to try for free! As a fruit and veggie lover, the Produce Box is a great value, high quality and nutritionally top notch! Sign up, you won't regret it!

The prices are shockingly reasonable for such fabulous things that you can't find in other stores. I do recommend going to their website and signing up for emails and also it's like a club thing you can get coupons! Needless to say when I left my store cart was rather full and I was pleasantly surprised at the total when I used my coupon at checkout. This is one place that I will come back too!

I am not really into infused olive oil, so I primarily buy straight up olive oil here. They have 3-4 straight olive oil options (e.g. Spanish, California, Greece) which are very good.
