Green Bean Delivery delivers local produce and natural groceries delivered to your doorstep! They serve areas within Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Choose a bin to suite your needs. The bins range from small to large and can be filled with fruits, vegetables, and grocery items. I opted for the small fruit and vegetable bin. For $35 I get to pick what produce goes into the bin plus add additional grocery items like eggs, milk, grains, cheese, beverages, etc. I chose to have my bins delivered every other week since it can get pricey and I alone can't finish off an entire bin in a week's time. The goods come delivered in a sturdy plastic bin with a cooling block to keep your produce cold. The produce always looks super fresh and delicious. I've never received a bruised looking item. Getting produce from Green Bean Delivery has single handedly caused me to eat healthier and cook more. It has encouraged me to be more creative and cook vegetables I have never tried before. Supporting local farmers is also a plus. Their customer service is also pretty excellent. I ordered some Snowville Milk once and found the milk carton to be leaking. I notified them via email and they immediately responded and gave me the option of including a free milk for the next bin, or a credit. I love love Green Bean Delivery and look forward to my bins! read more

I've been with green bean well over two years now. The customer service is impeccable. I LOVE it! I did my research, the only place to find cheaper organic chicken is at Costco, and I just don't need that much chicken! I was looking for an easy and affordable way to eat more organic and local food. I don't have time or interest in going to local farmers markets to get my groceries. I love that you can very clearly choose your organic items and they're always adding more. Anytime I've had an issue, like a broken egg, they just give you credit or replace the item. They're timely, kind, and deliver high quality goods. I'm about it. Thanks Green Bean. read more

I originally bought into this service because of a Living Social deal the at $15 for $35. I'm so glad I did! I've had the best experience with the fresh fruits and veggies and have started purchasing other dry goods that they offer in their store. I've had a couple instances where the fruit was a little too ripe, but I've called customer service and they've compensated me on my next delivery each time. The bins that the produce come in is very sturdy and well insulated. I had one on my porch during that major power outage storm earlier this year and even though all my patio furniture blew away, my bin was safe and sound. I'm going to continue to use this service because it's incredibly convenient and easy to use and I've been very happy with the results. read more

I love this delivery service. For 2 years now, I've been getting the small bin of fruits and veggies every other week for $35. Sometimes I add organic sugar and fresh organic eggs to my order. You get a list of items emailed to you and you can customize every order (when they have something you don't like on the list, you can substitute for something you like better). They also accept canned goods (place in the pickup bin) and they deliver to a food bank. read more

I love GBD! I (proudly) may be one of the first customers in Columbus to use this service and LOVE it! I started several years ago when it was another, more local company which GBD bought and kept the produce coming! I get a delivery every other week since we are just a household of two, and we do love to get out some too. Each week I receive an email with the selected produce for the week and have the option to change and customize with what my wants are. I set out my old bin and get an awesome new bin full of produce. What is great about the service is that they use local and organic farms as much as possible; who doesn't love to support local? There have been a few times that I have received lower quality than expected or something was missing from my bin and customer service has been excellent about handling both situations. Another bonus of using a delivery service is that I can preplan my meals and customize my bin for my needs, often eliminating the need to buy any produce at the store, which saves quite a bit of time. I have also added some new types of produce that I wouldn't necessarily buy at the store and come up with a recipe to use it. For anyone who loves to buy local and have things delivered to their door... try Green Bean Delivery! You won't be sorry! read more

i have received my second bin of produce and am quite pleased with the quality and variety. I prefer organic produce and find that the super market selection can be lacking and not fresh. So far, green beans organic produce has been far superior to the regular grocery store , it's on par with Whole Food. I will say, remembering to make modifications to my order by Monday for a thursday delivery will require some more planning. I'm hoping that if i forget to modify my order and recieve their choice produce, it will force me to get creative and try new things. read more

I've been using green bean off and on for well over a year. we have cancelled when we were traveling a bunch, and never had any issues stopping our subscription or picking it back up. as a quick run down, you can pick when you want your bins delivered--weekly, biweekly and so forth, you can also choose the size of you bin (to accommodate the amount of fruit and veg) and then add some local grocery or organic grocery (just be smart, some of the stuff is way too expensive). I've never had anything but great customer service. they accidentally delivered a bin I had cancelled and let me keep it free of charge, and if I am not happy with the quality of produce they are always happy to oblige with a credit on my next statement. it makes produce shopping great for a family for four. I just open my door, and it's all in my bin! read more

I received my first bin last night, and I wanted to review my experience with Green Bean Delivery now, and hopefully revise my rating later. First, I heard about Green Bean Delivery at the Pelotonia pre-party almost a year ago. It sounded like a great idea, but I hadn't moved into my new place yet... so I put it off for awhile. But, it stayed on my mind, and now, 9 months later, I'm a member! The ordering system online is pretty easy to use, though the website navigation could be a little smoother (transition from just browsing to logging in, for example). I ordered the small produce bin at $28, and foritfied my order to the required $35 (maybe $38?) minimum with nitrate-free bacon and local organic eggs. At least, I think they're local (more on this later). You have the option for bins to come weekly, or every-other week (I'm on the every-other plan). I'm pretty comfortable in the kitchen, so I am hoping the variable deliveries of produce will inspire more fresh food, more "unplanned" cooking. I'm looking forward to the challenge of eating everything up before it goes bad. It'll be like a game! Actually, doesn't seem like it will be too hard. I'm excited! However, there's one major drawback that is keeping my initial impression away from 4-stars; maybe even teetering on a two-star. I'm very disappointed that a lot of the produce did NOT appear to be local. I haven't checked every food item, but of the ones I checked, NONE have been locally produced (not even regionally). Not everything has a label on it, but the strawberries are from California, and the pears I received are from Argentina. Waaah waaaaaaah :( On one hand, I understand that not everything can be in season locally. I do. And when I need something like that, I go to the grocery store. I feel like Green Bean has been a tad misleading about this... I was under the impression the bins would be from a more local (regional, even) network of farmers. It's understood that the bins will not have the same things in them every time... so why not just provide what the local networks can provide? I didn't specifically order a pear, so why go to Argentina for it? I wanted to support local farms, and even though I can't do it completely... I want to try to get local produce to cut down on transportation costs (both monitarily and for the sake of quality). I received pears, nectarines, and a cucumber... none of which are in season right now in Ohio. Strawberries, however, are in season here now... so I'm a little sad to see these are from Cali, and so far seem similar to the grocery store's level of ripeness. I also understand that Green Bean's services are available year-round, and obviously the wintertime would warrant transporting from other climates, but... in the spring/summer I just would have expected more local produce. Another limitation is that you cannot choose your delivery day. Your delivery day depends on your region. I don't mind this... mine comes on Wednesday and that's fine. They need to keep their delivery costs efficient, of course. But, it's something to keep in mind if you are thinking about signing up. It will be interesting to see how the bin content changes over the course of the season. However, if more local produce doesn't start showing up as we get deeper into the growing season... I'd rather head to the farmers' markets and sign up for a more traditional CSA, and get the rest at the grocery for lower cost. Hope I can revise! read more

I've been a Green Bean customer for a few months and just recently cancelled my service. After giving it some time and receiving several bins, I think I can offer a fair review of my own experience. The sign up process is very easy. The website could be a little better, i.e. less clicks to log in to your region and on updating bins when changing items. I found it to be a bit pricey; however, this may depend on what you buy at the store. Originally, I was hoping to get better quality produce for either comparable or less than grocery prices. I did not find this was the case. I spend about the same and have more control over my produce. (Yes, you can modify your bins, but keep in mind that your bin size will only fit so much so you are, in effect, limited in what you can switch out.) I did not have a good experience with some romaine lettuce. It was extremely dirty, wilted and near rotten when I got it (it smelled). This brings me to another sticking point: Do not expect fast service. They are open from 9 - 5, M-F, so if you are like me and don't get your bin until you return from work in the evening, they are closed, and any problems you have need to be dealt with the next business day. When I did have a couple of items I wasn't quite pleased with, this kept me from calling--it's a hassle to wait. At least at the store, I know what I'm picking out, and if something does go bad before it's time, I can take it back to the store at 8 in the evening if I need to. I had an order confused with another person's (got the wrong bin). I had to wait until the next day, leave the bin out again and have one re-delivered. What irritated me was that they put a note in saying "sorry," etc. and offered me "additional produce at no extra charge". When I checked the bin, I found that I had received an extra bag of mushrooms. Mushrooms, of all things!! Yes, I can use those in EVERYthing. That experience only made me feel better about having cancelled. Packing materials are quite dirty, considering they're putting my food in the bin. I've actually found hair on the freezer pack. Not cool. Bottom line: It was more expensive than I would have paid at the store (even mostly organic stores like Earth Fare) and the quality wasn't so super that I just had to keep the service. (Yes, I realize that there is an upcharge for delivery, as there should be, but my experiment was with cost as well as service.) Customer service gets a 6 out of 10. Wouldn't do it again unless I became so super busy that grocery shopping wasn't an option. read more

I have used Green bean delivery for years and have lived the time and gas it saves me. The prices are pretty competitive and I have only had two items come that weren't really fresh, which they promptly refunded me for. Awesome service, great product, I would 100% recommend! read more

FINALLY! Soooo happy when I saw a delivery van and had to try the service for myself. So far so good. Healthy produce to your door... now there's no excuse to not eat healthy. Hoping as more people subscribe that more exotic and lesser know fruits and veggies will start to be available. read more

Scam-y I signed up for a few weeks to try it out. I did not sign up for anything out side of that. I got a few deliveries and was dissatisfied with the service. I didn't sign up for any more, but a few weeks after my last delivery, they started up again. This is when things got super shady. The website makes it confusing and difficult to cancel your service. You have to scour the website for directions, and jump through time consuming hoops to cancel service. read more

I totally agree with Dan W. This service while interesting and seems healthy... It's impossible to cancel!!! I've waited on hold for about 40 minutes trying to just speak with someone. I went on their site once and had to fill out my credit card information just to see what their prices were... They were okay to say the least and I thought I had turned on the automatic deliveries I guess I hadn't... They have a 3 month schedule but once that goes away you are automatically enrolled to receive deliveries again! How crazy is that??? You also have to send them an email just to request a cancellation of service. What online retailer has you send an email to request cancellation? Don't bother with this service... I'd suggest trying out that Giant Eagle Curbside service... at least you can tell if you've bought something or not. read more

I really like this food service. It's affordable and good quality. Once in a while I may get produce that goes bad fast. When this happens I contact customer service and they are quick to remedy the issue. Their customer service makes up for the fact that I can't personally pick the produce. I wish we could choose our delivery day. Other than that, all is well read more

I have used GBD for 5 years plus now and have found the quality to be consistent and service to be very reliable. The few times I have been disappointed in the produce I have been cheerfully refunded. I highly recommend them for fresh seasonal produce and wonderful selection of quality grocery items. I am not physically able to shop anymore and they are my top choice for produce delivery. Thanks GB! read more

I'm updating my review to include one less star (was 3, now 2). My order today was missing 2 items that were ordered and printed on the management review sheet that came in the bin. How can management miss two items that the packer missed??? And we were charged $7 for a teeny tiny little romanesco (they are a rare find, but when found, I can get a large sized one at Whole Foods for about $4). Plus, they recently "lowered prices" to be more competitive, but prices were lowered on a few items - bananas, maybe broccoli and one other produce item. Snowville Milk is still BY FAR more expensive through GBD than area grocery stores. I understand needing to pay a small premium for the convenience of delivery, but then don't say you are offering competitive prices, or charge a delivery fee on top of competitive prices. I think it's time that I suck it up and cancel my service. The delivery component was convenient, but the frustration is not worth it anymore. read more
