I signed up at the end of October 2010 after receiving a coupon in the mail for 1/2 off my first box, and have been really enjoying picking up our box of produce every other week. I LOVE that FCF delivers to Alaska. The produce we get in the grocery store is hit or miss, often no where near ripe, or has already taken a turn for the worse - it is shipped up here in containers and who knows what it goes through or how long or far it's traveled. FCF deliveries for me come on Friday and I pick them up at a community pick-up spot just down the street from my house. In the greater Anchorage area (we are 40 miles from Anch) there are several pick-up spots available, and you choose the one you want. They even ship to some of the bush communities. I love getting my email reminding me to log in and see what's scheduled for my next delivery. Changing upcoming order contents couldn't be simpler. I've even got a couple of "permanent exemptions" on my list that will never be included so I don't have to worry about changing those. Every box I've received from FCF has been great quality produce. I realize it doesn't all come from Washington and I'm good with that - when you log in to see your order contents it's right there in black and white. If you don't want something from a particular region you can easily swap it out for something else. Over the holidays I needed to suspend our service for a couple of weeks - a quick email to FCF customer service solved that, and I received a reply confirmation, from an actual person, by the next morning. My service started up again just as I had requested too. I've had nothing but great service from both the FCF team as well as the produce that I've received. I will be a customer for a long time and will recommend to my friends. read more

I purchased a twelve week subscription and had twelve weeks of fresh fruit delivered at the bottom of a steep driveway in our milk delivery box. The foods were varied and when I had time I prepared a beet soup that my husband praised highly. "I didn't know I liked beets!" and that is a great feature of this service. For twelve weeks the entire order was fresh, nothing rotten or wilted. My 19 month old son very much enjoyed the colored carrots, the three plums a week, peaches, and cantaloupe. Spinach I put into egg white muffins, roma tomatoes I made a marinara sauce one week. The tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, and leafy greens I began giving away because my time to dedicate to menu planning is zero hours per day as my little guy is becoming more active. I like the ability to put a dozen farm fresh local eggs as an add on. I also liked the stellar customer service. read more

For me, Full Circle is the perfect hybrid of a local farm and organic produce supplier. Because they can't produce the entire spectrum of produce year round on their own farm, they source from other local and west coast organic farms to provide the perfect variety of produce in each bin. Other advantages of Full Circle: The website is well designed to allow me to make substitutions for any of the items in the bin; they also sell ethically produced meat, eggs, etc (I was looking into meat CSAs and was really happy when I found out I could just use Full Circle); you can add produce to the bin from the "green grocer," you can easily put a hold on deliveries whenever you don't need a bin, and they have a professional customer service staff to handle any problems that come up. They also credit you an entire bin if you recommend them to friends, which is a great way of showing appreciation to their customers. I've tried out four organic produce suppliers, and so far Full Circle has the best combination of convenience, variety, and quality. read more

OK so we kept the box and decided to give them a few more goes. Over the last few months I have had a chance to do some comparison shopping at Fred Meyer, Whole Foods and PCC. As you can guess WF and PCC were totally over priced, so It was a close tie between Full Circle and Fred Meyer on price. Freddies sales and coupons put them a little ahead, plus the added bonus of a larger selection. But at the end of the day we are sticking with Full Circle, oh my gosh!! We are on to our 6th box tomorrow. We love that it is delivered so even if I don't get out we are guaranteed fresh veg in the house. They allow you to change what you don't like ie, if its not local, not to mention we have tried stuff we wouldn't usually eat, its been fun! While I am still a little funny about having the quality of the food picked for me, if I have had any problems with it, they were more than happy to refund the price of that piece. The customer service has been great!! So my conclusion is I am one happy mama, eating organic fruit & veg at an affordable price, trying new things and its delivered!! So glad I gave them a few more chances =) read more

I, like others, was very disappointed to find out that a lot of the produce they put in their boxes comes from Mexico, Florida, etc. I think something even came from Peru? Look, I understand that in the winter in WA you are just not going to get much. In that case, I think it's acceptable to supply boxes with fruits and veggies from CA. But I really don't need to have a mango in the middle of winter. I never had a problem with the quality of what I got. And as a plus to them, their website is great. I stopped and re-started my service several times to coincide with my travel plans, and they were extremely accommodating and always responsive. Being able to personalize your box seemed awesome at first, but now I see that it causes part of the problem. I always tried to double up on things that were from the farm, but some weeks only 1 thing would be from the farm. I was very serious about selecting a CSA. In the fall I went to the farm tour and visited a few different farms. I was impressed with FCF when I talked to the woman at the farm. But I feel like I was lied to, or maybe that the truth was hidden from me. She didn't mention that so much of my produce would come from so far away. The 'C' stands for 'community.' So you could say that Full Circle Farm is an SA, not a CSA. read more

On top of the misleading marketing that makes you believe you are supporting a CSA, our produce was from Canada, Mexico, and California, and wasn't in great condition. The spinach and cilantro were wilted already, and the fruit began to mold in the first week. Just an all around bad experience. read more

I've rarely been this annoyed! The produce was very meh for $40! mostly kale & lettuce. and 2 potatoes. yup, 2 small ones. And not even particularly local. I live down the street from PCC, so i decided to cancel my membership. but it was not so easy. I specifically requested to cancel my Full Circle membership on 8/5 as I was not happy with the produce and I was also leaving town. Today i come back and found week old produce outside my door and also being charged for it. This is terrible customer service and amounts to forcing your products down the customer's throat. i also work in a consumer business and if a customer cancels on 8/5, I will not deliver on 8/9. And definitely not charge on 8/6. I'm going to tell everyone I know about how unethical you guys are! read more

A solid 3 stars all around. I was a FCF subscriber for several months, spanning from late winter into early summer. The price was reasonable for the amount of food received, customer service was friendly and responsive whenever I had a question or concern and picking up my produce box was always the highlight of my week. Unfortunately, towards the end I began to feel a little underwhelmed. Living in Seattle with access to farms and farmstands leaves me with high expectations for produce quality and FCF was failing to meet them, week after week. I was getting fruits and vegetables that had clearly seen better days, which is not something one expects of a CSA, even an atypical CSA. The price began to feel a little steep, when I could spend similar cash monies for better quality at the farmer's market. I decided to discontinue my subscription with the thought of maybe picking it up again in the fall when local markets are a little less well stocked. I've now decided that the longer I go without it, the less I miss it and will probably just return to the grocery store come cold weather. read more

Pros: Love the concept Very user friendly website Quality food Consume more veggies than I would if I was shopping for them myself Flexible Cons: Chincy with some items (like ONE mango or ONE artichoke... geez, thanks) Fruits don't seem to last very long, get moldy quickly Not all from WA (even though they don't claim to be) Green Grocery items while convenient, are expensive It' good, for now. And will hold me over until the Farmers Market's are back in season. read more

Full Circle farm's CSA is, at best, unreliable. At its worst, it feels like a waste of money. While they offer extras (that you pay for at a premium price), and the perk of being able to fully customize your order (which I did every week with paranoia -- to be sure that I wouldn't receive out-of-state goods, or things that I had found rotten in my box upon delivery in the past), if you're not careful you'll end up with a box full of food that is NOT LOCAL. It might be organic, sure, and delivered to your door -- but it comes from Chile. Mexico. California. To me, CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) should mean that I'm buying directly from a farmer (or a cooperative of farmers) in my region, and not being filtered through what is basically a glorified organic grocery delivery service. I've also given Full Circle Farm's CSA Box a poor rating because I have received moldy or nearly spoiled produce far too often and consistently for comfort. I'm not willing to sacrifice the quality of the produce I eat for a little more variety in the fruits and vegetables I receive year-round. Sign up for Tiny's CSA instead. Now *there* is a real community supported agriculture system. read more

I keep wanting to like this service (as Amazon Fresh is no longer free with Prime, there is a separate fee - something around $300! a year!!) So this was my back up for grocery delivery. On a few occasions, I have received rotten produce. A cucumber here and there. I keep forgiving them. Stuff like this can happen (I guess). I have contacted customer service about this in the past whenever this happened and they would refund me for whatever was rotten. Nice that they did that, but still annoying that I have to go through this kind of hassle. I have held my orders for a few months now and decided to start back up. I received my bag this week and noticed that there was some webbing on my bag. Not a big deal I guess. But upon further inspection - there were multiple webs with SACS OF EGGS on my bag and near the inside of my bag! SO GROSS. I can't believe I brought this bag inside my house. read more

EDIT: Joel contacted me right away, and I received a sincere apology and a refund right away. Great customer service. Perhaps I would try them out again in the future, after some time. Original review: I just so happened to first try out Full Circle with a Groupon in the middle of an extremely hot week. I even got an email explaining the change in delivery schedule. The veggies and fruits arrived early in the morning, around 7:30am. The red lettuce was wilted, the plums were overripe and bruised, the carrots were already soft and the tops were clearly wilted. I specifically got up earlier than my alarm to make sure they didn't sit on my doorstep, so that wasn't it. I ended up throwing a lot of it out. But, because of the "extreme heat" email I had gotten, I decided I'd try it for another week. Literally just got my second order about 45 minutes ago and yup - lettuce is wilted, the bok choy looks a little old, and my cantaloupe of all things is bruised. I know for a fact this week hasn't been hot, so that's no excuse this time. Just sent an email to customer service to cancel. Nice concept, perhaps they need to work on their logistics some more. read more

*update Received a private message from one of the managers promising a refund and a cancellation. Not only did I not get a refund but I wasn't expecting a delivery. The produce has been stolen. They delivered to the wrong building and I didn't know to look for it. I didn't know I could hate this company more, but I do. There's not a company out there that I hate more than full circle. My first delivery was wilted lettuce and bruised peaches. My delivery came at 2am, along with a phone call. I get that it's "hot" out, but a 2 am delivery is ridiculous. I called the next Monday to cancel my order and was 3 hours after the cut off time. It's supposedly local delivery, so 4 days should be plenty of time to cancel. Customer service is a joke, I don't think Claire even listened to me. AVOID AT ALL COST. @fullcicle #angrycustomer read more

I'm changing my rating to 3-stars instead of 4 because after doing some online research I find Full Circle Farm's business goal is to be an large scale organic delivery service along the lines of Amazon Fresh. I give them an "A-OK" rating of 3 stars because I feel that their small farm folksy branding is a little at odds with their actual business model. If you want organic groceries delivered your house, Full Circle Farm can do it. If you are interested in super local and fresh produce for gastronomic or environmental reasons, subscribe to a CSA or go to the farmer's market. Edited to add: Their customer service is amazing, though. They have a very clear website and they will let you customize your order. You can use this to maximize the amount of local produce in your delivery. When I received unripe lemons I reported the problem through their website and they gave me a prompt credit with no hassle. Through their webiste, it is also easy to suspend service or skip an order. read more

FCF recently reduced their box size for those that simply can't keep up with deliveries (Me busy? Noooo...) and you can request every other week for up to three deliveries thereby reducing the amount of possible wasted produce. While I think the produce is okay - apples are tasty, avo stays fresh in the fridge and if taken care of right away, the chard and kale can last up to two weeks. Their major downfall is that they're not in any way sustainable. They use cardboard boxes for delivery and wrap everything from the green grocer in plastic (oh, the irony!!) and that is really disappointing to me, since the idealism of a (somewhat) local, organic harvest should trickle down to how they deliver their product. Their competitor uses reusable plastic tubs, which are picked up at the next delivery. I understand that there would be an initial investment for this route but the long term effects are substantial. We obviously want to be responsible consumers, FCF, so please let us (lettuce? ha!) by providing reusable delivery bins. This is my only complaint about you but I think it's a pretty big one. read more

Maybe it was because we ordered with a living social deal, but the (harvest)box we got was 1/3rd WAY under ripe, 1/3 straight up rotten and had to be thrown out, and 1/3rd edible. I guess I'm happy my girlfriend ordered the largest option, as we at least got a couple meals out of it, but if we would have paid the full $44 I would have been really upset and this would be a 1 star review. Save your money and just go to the store and pick out your own produce. It will be better and probably cheaper. The service is a good idea, but this was just very poorly executed. I won't be ordering again or recommending this to anyone. read more

I really don't know what these negative Nellies are talking about. I have been a member of Full Circle for approx. 6 months. I love them, the produce is excellent and if there might be a problem (as in can happen with any produce from any store) they are happy to credit the damaged item to my account. I get a box every two weeks. You can schedule your deliveries a month out. So I don't understand the problems others have had. Customer service is always happy to accommodate the customer. Once I was delivered the wrong customer's delivery. Customer Service not only credited my whole delivery, but they also told me to keep the delivery I did receive. I think the produce is excellent. I make smoothies and juice so I go through a lot of produce. I think this is a great way to receive additional product. I agree with the reviewer who said that the delivery truck is noisy. I does not bother me, but it does bother my neighbors. This is a problem. Pricing I think is about equal with Whole Foods, but it is delivered to your door. I don't have a Whole Foods in my neighborhood so this is an ideal solution for me so that I don't have to go out of my way to purchase organic. read more

I've been using Full Circle bi-monthly since September and I've had a great experience. Since they leave the greens on all of their produce it lasts longer than grocery veggies and are great to cook with too. I love that they email me and allow me to change my order, it's like getting a present when they deliver. The site could be easier to navigate but I have no real complaints. I've only gotten top quality produce and recipes to go with it. The only time I need anything from the store is bulk foods, so thanks Full Circle. read more

How can you beat supporting local produce and farmers AND having your goodies delivered fresh to your door super early on Monday mornings, AND at a reasonable price, AND having the option of including other delectable goodies such as dairy products, breads, and even ethically treated meats to your delivered order? How can you beat all of this? With their AWESOME customer service. I am just blown away at their customer service and how easy it is to participate in community supported agriculture. Let me count the ways on how excited I am to be a FCF customer: * Delivery options of either getting products weekly or bi-weekly (or you can pick up from locations all over the community with either standard or family size options * You can substitute selections in your box by just emailing customer service and/or permanently omitting specific produce * You can shop in their Green Grocery and select things from organic and locally made tofu to dairy products, breads, and even meats * You receive a newsletter with each delivery with what's going on at local farms AND you get recipes for some of the produce that's been selected in your box * You get a live person when you contact customer service! I've been a customer for about 3 weeks and I've been happy with my produce selections as well as the quality of items received. Of course overall, you're paying more for organic local produce, but it is no different than going to local farmers markets. I have received a couple of items from California (i.e. grapes), but 90% of my selections have been harvested from FCF here in Washington, and I'm always happy to support local farmers. I was introduced to them via Groupon and although I was leery of signing up at first, after I received my first box (I signed up for bi-weekly delivery), I was so pleased with what I received, I kept my membership active. I hope to be a satisfied long-time customer with Full Circle Farms. read more

For the price of about one meal out, my boyfriend and I eat well and healthy all week! I put about 5 minutes into selecting the produce in my box. They offer produce that's both local and not, but you can shift your selections around so that you only get local stuff. Then it magically shows up! 6 of the 9 families in my building get FCF, and the boxes always land on our porch without any problem. The produce has always been good quality except for one instance, which I called about and got a credit for. Most importantly, my veggie consumption has gone way up, which is good! There are only two negatives, for me. One, the substitutions are a little out of control. I have a substitution in about half of my boxes. For example, spinach for broccoli, or red beets for yellow beets. Maybe they could add a box on the website where you could pick out a preferred back-up item? That would be nice. Two, the nagging feeling that if I just walked down to the farmer's market with $25 in my pocket, I could do just as well or better on the veggie front. But that's on me to do, not FCF! read more

I was SO excited when I signed up for Full Circle. SO excited that I got a $10 facebook referral discount on my first box. And SO excited that there was a pickup station right across from my apartment, so I'd save on the delivery fee. Unfortunately, Full Circle was very inconsistent. When their produce was fresh, it was phenomenal -- I had some of the best roma tomatoes, snap peas, and granny smith apples ever from FC. When the produce was bad, however, it arrived soft and was often moldy the next day. I will give them credit that they encourage you to speak up; and when I did so about some potatoes that sprouted, some strawberries that were moldy, etc, I was reimbursed their worth. Sincere apology was always given, and a suggestion to "try ordering this item again!" However, and this was especially true with strawberries, the second request for a bad item was typically met with even more disappointment. I had a couple boxes that about a third of the food didn't last a day. I understand organic means not being quite so robust in the face of adversity, but I expected a little more. I can't eat the whole box in 2 days. Eventually I had to cancel my subscription. While Pike Place may not offer *quite* the same convenience and doesn't push me to try new things, at least there, I can do my own quality control. read more

I've been using Full Circle for a month now and I love it! Yes, I have gotten a few things that have gone bad before I've gotten the chance to use them, but for the most part everything has been great. I love that I can substitute out things I don't want (like lettuce, or anything from Mexico), but I do agree that things can get boring from having the same fruits and veggies all the time. But, I have to remember that right now is not prime harvesting season for anything around here except maybe rhubarb, so I'm not going to get much from WA till later in the growing season. I think the price is just about right for organic veggies and my grocery bill has actually gone down since I started using them. I can't wait to go pick up my next box today! read more

pretty standard fruit and veg delivery. minus one star because price increases wiped out the savings. minus two because they make you call them to cancel. cheap trick on customer retention. read more

It's okay. Not my cup of tea but could be good for others. Pros: Good for busy or lazy people, or people with big households, or those who lack mobility (if you choose delivery) ; website is easy to use; Box is customizable Cons: Produce is not always in the condition I would have bought them at, had I been at a grocery store or farmers market. Can't unsubscribe online, you must call them (For those of us who hate calling anywhere). Pricey IMO compared to grocery stores and farmer's market. It's really not worth the money (without any discounts) for households of one or two people unless your on a produce heavy diet (Vegetarian, Vegan, Raw). I don't see the point in picking up my Full Circle produce when I could just spend an extra 5-10 minutes during my weekly visit to the grocery store and pick out stuff I need/want and just the right amount too. I HATE when produce goes bad. When I use this service I feel like it happens too much for my taste. read more

I had Full Circle for over a year and everything started out so well. For the last 4-5 months though, I would be missing parts of my order (I.e. was supposed to receive 5 oranges but didn't get any at all, etc.). I got so tired of having to email them to tell them I was missing produce that was supposed to be in my box. They were great about crediting my account, but when you base your grocery shopping off of what you are having delivered and then don't receive it, it makes for extra unwanted trips to the grocery store. And unfortunately, the quality of their produce slid dramatically. My last box contained all 6 Satsumas with big, brown soft spots (bruising) that were just too unappetizing for my kids to eat. The one cucumber I received was mushy on one end. I really had high hopes for Full Circle, but it was not to be for me. It makes me wonder if they expanded their market too quickly and allowed their quality to slide. I love the idea of organic produce, but for me, I will have to seek it elsewhere. read more

So I've been getting boxes from Full Circle delivered to me for a couple of months now. I work full time, go to school, and don't have a car. So grocery shopping has been a huge chore. It's really nice not to have to make weekly trips. Now I just go to Costco and/or Fred Meyer once or twice a month to stock up on nonperishables. All my perishables now come from Full Circle. Pros: Weekly delivery on front porch (SO NICE), prices a little high but not unreasonable considering the convenience, generally good quality. If you order things that are local and in season, the prices and quality are really quite good. Also, their customer service has been good. When they accidentally sent me bratwurst instead of andouille, I alerted them to the mixup, and they refunded me and let me keep the bratwurst. I still don't know what I'm going to do with it, but hey, free bratwurst. Cons: I wish there was more selection for the weekly boxes. When I want to swap out certain items that I don't care for or won't use, there aren't as many alternatives as I'd like. Dairy and produce do tend to go bad more quickly than mainstream products, but I assume that is due to the fact that they are organic and not treated with artificial life-extending stuff. I just try to eat it fast. Once or twice, things have arrived in not-the-best condition--for example, some carrots (from Mexico) were pretty limp. I used them for soup. That's what I get for ordering produce out of season. Things like cheese and some of the meats seem awfully overpriced and sometimes the prices don't make sense. A whole chicken from Sedro-Woolley, WA (I live near Seattle) is over $25, while a whole chicken from a different farm in California (same size) is $16. I would hang on to this membership from spring through the fall, and probably let it lapse in the winter when there just isn't much variety to choose from, or most of the produce is from Mexico. read more

they really improved on their produce and service since trying them a year ago. I feel great giving back to farmers who are very much underapreciated in our society. Go visit their farm if you are ever free on the weekend absolutely beautiful this time of year in Carnation! read more

I had wanted to participate in a CSA operation for years but it wasn't until a couple of years ago that someone from Full Circle knocked on our door and we found out that they could provide what we wanted; a choice of items in our choice of box size. We are eating more veggies and loving it! read more

Been using FCF for a few months now. I live in a secure access building, so the option to pick up the box has been really helpful. The vast majority of the produce is of excellent quality, although I have gotten the occasional bad one. The company has been great about crediting my account when that happens so I can't even be annoyed when I open the box up and discover an onion was bruised. Also, it feels a bit like getting a gift when you get an extra orange or bunch of carrots just because one was too small. My only complaint: for a family of 3 (two adults and 1 toddler) the sprout box feels too small and I find myself having to run to the shop halfway through the week. Some of the other reviewers noted not all of the produce is local. The site discloses the farm/location of each veggie and if you wanted only local food you are constrained to seasonally produced options. Not such a bad deal but it might be monotonousness after a bit. read more

Love this place! A co-worker at work told me about FCF and I've been getting their small box bi-weekly since the summer. The veggies and fruits are so fresh. My husband goes crazy whenever we get carrots in our box. They are the best carrots we have ever tasted. My favorite part is the customization you can do. My box is delivered on Tuesdays. Thursdays I get an email letting me know what I will be getting in the upcoming delivery. I'm able to go in and change my order. This makes meal planning so easy! FCF customer service is quick. I contacted them a few weeks back regarding green peppers I received that were all bruised. Within 2 hours I had an email back from them apologizing and letting me know they credited my account. Definitely recommend them. read more

FCF is a great service and has provided me with amazing fruits and vegetables. However, I feel the cost of the service is a little high for what I'm getting in produce. All my friends rave about this service and I'm one of them. read more

I received my first box last week and the quality of the produce was AWFUL. I emailed customer service and got an auto generated response basically saying that they could care less. No offer for refund or replacement. Do yourself a favor, shop more local and buy from a company that stands behind their product. read more

My whole intention when signing up for a bi-weekly box was to eat healthfully and to eat locally. The first shipment contained fruit that was overripe and moldy (some citrust fruit, can't remember which), and the second one as well. I sent an e-mail and got replacements the following week, so they were prompt there. However, one of the reasons I signed up was because they are based in Carnation, as in relatively close to Seattle, and I was looking forward to getting local produce. I was VERY disappinted with oranges from Mexico! Then when I looked through the boxes, about half of 1/3 of the items were from outside the United States. I sent an e-mail to cancel and when they asked why, I explained that I had expected local produce for at least the majority of my box, and also in-season produce. So that was that. Am looking for a different farm. read more

We tried Full Circle home delivery in Auburn and it was great! The produce was fresh, there was a lot of variety, and the website was really easy to use. If we hadn't moved out of their delivery area we would still be with them. (And if they ever come out to Buckley we will be first to sign up!) read more

I started my FC membership a couple weeks ago. The thing that appealed most to me was the grocery section, not necessarily the produce box itself. I live in a pretty small town far from the city, and organic produce isn't hard to come by, but it is expensive, however organic milk is impossible to find without traveling 30 miles one way to get it. That being said, I wish FC would allow just regular grocery boxes, without having to order the minimum amount of produce for your box. If I could substitute the items in my box for grocery items, that would make the whole service so much better. The quality of the produce so far has been pretty good. I did receive some arugula that was pretty dirty, and even after thoroughly washing it, couldn't quite get the dirt taste to go away. But I do understand that this is organic produce, it won't last as long and it might not look as shiny and beautiful as some of the stuff in the stores, but that's because its not full of preservatives and chemicals and shiny was coatings on the outside. I don't get home delivery where I live, but the drop/pick up station is at our local Feed store, which I thought was nice, its only a few miles from my house and honestly I was surprised FC even had a location out here, because nobody else does! I did downsize, I originally started with the Garden size box, for a family of 4, but was concerned the produce wouldn't get eaten fast enough, so I downsized to the sprout box and it works great. I like to customize my box differently every week and add groceries that fit the theme. Some weeks I'll get things for mexican dishes, other weeks italian. Over all I really like the service! read more

I am so mad I let them suck me into this. The produce looks fine, but they sent me a huge bouquet of radishes and a tiny amount of Romaine lettuce...Lots of Kale, and 2 apples and a mango. They sent a small watermelon. I know I could buy all of this at the grocery store for less than $15 but what gets me is they offered it for $15.00 and charged me $33 just because I didn't change the order online! Devious!!! Do not get sucked in to this. Their customer service is the worst! read more

Stopped by their booth at a Remodeling Expo a few weeks ago. Decided to give Full Circle a try because the rep was offering a $15 off coupon code. I don't recall the rep telling me you have to customize your box to receive the discount so I'm glad I read other Yelp reviews. I just received my first box a few days ago and the produce was nice and seemed fresh. It's been 3 days and my bananas are rotten inside and my apples and pears are getting soft. I'm not confident this produce is that fresh. I can definitely get better and cheaper produce at my local farmer's markets. I did call customer service to let them know about the rotten bananas and they gave me a credit on my account without any problems. I also cancelled my subscription without any issues. The gentleman on the phone credited my account for the bananas, charged my credit card and cancelled my account without hassle. I received an email confirmation right away. I cancelled my subscription for a few reasons. First, this is way overpriced for what you get. I can get fresher, local, cheaper produce at my Farmer's Markets. Second, the pick up is not convenient at all for me. In my area, there is no home delivery so I had to go to my local garden center to pick up my box. Pick up time is on a Tuesday and in the middle of the day which is super inconvenient. Third, the produce isn't as fresh or as local as I would like. I'd rather support the Farmers in my area. read more

I've had such a great experience with Full Circle. I initially decided to try this company because of the Groupon deal of a half price box. I've been with them for about 4 months now. Only once did I have a single pear that had a spot of mold. It wasn't very big and I'm not surprised that it was missed. The produce has always been so tasty. The delivery happens first thing in the morning, straight to my porch. Usually before my husband even leaves for work at 5am, so I wake up to a box of fresh produce right on my kitchen table. We're eating better and I've had fun finding new recipes to try. Some people have commented that the fruit arrives hard. I like that. We just can't eat everything right away, so the fact that it comes in a little under ripe is perfect. I can just let it ripen in the fridge. I haven't had a problem with spoilage either. In fact, there have been times when I still have some fruit in my fridge when my next box comes (I'm on an every other week schedule) and it's fine. The only hiccup I have sometimes is that I forget to change my box contents in time. If I don't request change out certain items that I know we won't eat, I've never had a problem finding friend who are more then willing to take it off my hands. It's a little pricey, but I've been so happy with the delivery and quality that I've stuck with it. read more

Full Circle - My first box - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Okay, some people's reviews do not make a whole lot of sense to me. First of all, organic produce spoils more quickly than produce that has been genetically modified or pesticide laden. If it is spoils after you get it, then I don't see what the big deal is, you maybe should order a smaller box or make an effort to eat the ripe items first. Secondly, not all of the produce comes from washington, but they do not claim it does. The website states EXACTLY where the produce comes from, if you want washington only, then you can make that happen through substitutions. Most people do not like receiving potatoes, squash, winter greens, and root veggies every single week for 6 months, so FCF has options. It is up to you to decide what you want. Lastly, I have received some damaged items and/or past ripe. If you go online and shoot them an email about it, they always make good for it--giving you a credit or something extra next time. Canceling a box for a week is as quick as a short email to the farm and it is taken care of. I've been pleased with this service for 2 years now. It helps me build meals around vegetables within minimal effort and also i get to try things I may not choose from the store. read more

The wife and I have been using this since mid January this year (2010) and we get door delivery service (we live in the 6th floor in a condo building) every other week. IT IS AWESOME. Produce has been good--just what I expect from a farm--it's as the stuff came straight from the field (so you need to wash). There's nothing too special, just good wholesome food. There are some complaints that some of the food isn't local, but that's because of the type of food, season, and region. I do appreciate that I can the options and selection FCF offers. And there are some local options for the winter, but our farming season is best during summer and fall. And FCF fully discloses where all the food is from--either FCF, PNW, or beyond (we have received fruit from Central America--seems like they could find a US organic source, but maybe not). Also, you can add other items you your order, such as local grains and cheeses. We haven't tried it yet, but maybe this summer. The Full Circle Farm website is the best for managing your subscription service and specific orders. Just log on, view your upcoming order (it lists what foods are grown at FCF or just in the PNW, those not marked are from further away). You can make some substitutions and it clearly shows what you are switching out. It is very easy. My only wish is that for more detailed info on where the food (outside of FCF) is from-- what farm, city, country, etc. That would help me make better choices--"am I craving that fruit from Honduras, because if so, I will order it. And I'm glad and fortunate that I have that option. If not, I'll just get something more local." But now I would feel that I can make more whole hearted decisions. We researched several different CSA deliveries and we are very pleased with Full Circle Farms and we recommend this to all our friends who are interested. I think the price is very reasonable. And there are so many options--in terms of produce, delivery or local pickup, and frequency-- and the website is super helpful. We tryout new foods every week. Plus, they send along recipes corresponding to the food in the delivery box. If they had more detailed info on the food sources, I would give it 6 stars and I would give my friends gift subscriptions to FCF. OTHER NOTE: we thought they skipped a delivery so we called them up to complain. They delivered us a new box that same day. It turned out, that the delivery person just left the box down by our mailbox. So we called them up to day that we found it, but they gave us the 2nd box for free anyways. GREAT SERVICE!!! And if you refer a friend, both you and your friend get a discount. Can't beat that. Now go get your veggies on!!! read more
