I have recommended you to many friends and colleagues and will continue
to do so, to my friends who live in the Southeast.  Thank you so much for your
wonderful customer service and fantastic produce.     Janice - Atlanta   10-22-09

I just wanted to tell you how much I love your produce delivery. 
I love to cook and my husband and I weren't getting enough vegetable variety,
plus the produce wasn't that fresh.  Now that I get my veggie box I try new recipes or eat vegetables I wouldn't normally buy!  I love this service!    Bonnie - Destin     6-2-09 

           Thanks so much! I know you all are working very hard to provide quality produce and grocery products that are both locally sourced and consistently affordable... and you all do an amazing job of achieving both goals! Thank you so much for the service you provide; I really
don't know if you know how much time and gas you save me from running all over the
panhandle for groceries! Not having to sacrifice quality and our ideals (about organic foods, etc.) and still be able to not have to spend half of every week "foraging" is such a gift... thank you!

The package is absolutly beautiful and the first apple was probably some of the best fruit
I have ever eaten. Thanks again!     mike30-ADes    South Walton   11-19-08

Delivery.  I have been a member of several veggie co-ops. When they deliver,
like this one does, it's great!  I recommend it.     mcintosh   Atlanta    5-19-08

Great Produce.  We have been using Off the VIne for awhile now for our produce. 
The food is always fresh and much tastier than you can get at the store. We suggest
that others give them a try too.   BasktballMom  Atlanta      8-3-07

Very fresh!  Just got my first delivery and so far I am impressed!  It's a good variety of fruits
and vegetables, and included some things that I don't often think to get at the
grocery store.  I'm sure we'll be eating better as a result.    atlantaphile - Atlanta   5-10-07

Great service for the Money!  We get a basket of fresh fruits and veggies delivered every
other Wednesday. It's realiable and a real treat.  We can't wait to see what's in the basket.
It's a great deal!    sweetie2  -  Atlanta    2-14-07

Reasons to support organic products.

Reduce The Toxic Load. Keep Chemicals Out of the Air, Water, Soil and our Bodies  Buying organic food promotes a less toxic environment for all living things. With only 0.5 percent of crop and pasture land in organic, according to USDA that leaves 99.5 percent of farm acres in the U.S. at risk of exposure to toxious agricultural chemicals.

Reduce if Not Eliminate Off Farm Pollution.  Industrial agriculture doesn’t
singularly pollute farmland and farm workers; it also wreaks havoc on the environment downstream. Pesticide drift affects non-farm communities with odorless and invisible poisons. Synthetic fertilizer drifting downstream is the main culprit for dead zones in delicate ocean environments, such as the Gulf of Mexico, where its dead zone is now larger than 22,000 square kilometers, an area larger than New Jersey.

Protect Future Generations.  Before a mother first nurses her newborn, the toxic risk from pesticides has already begun. Studies show that infants are exposed to hundreds of harmful chemicals in utero. In fact, our nation is now reaping the results of four generations of exposure to agricultural and industrial chemicals, whose safety was deemed on adult tolerance levels, not on children’s. According to the National Academy of Science, “neurologic and behavioral effects may result from low-level exposure to pesticides.” Numerous studies show that pesticides can adversely affect the nervous system, increase the risk of cancer,
and decrease fertility.

Build Healthy Soil.  Mono-cropping and chemical fertilizer dependency has taken a toll with a loss of top soil estimated at a cost of $40 billion per year in the U.S., according to David Pimental of Cornell University. Add to this an equally disturbing loss of micro nutrients and minerals in fruits and vegetables. Feeding the soil with organic matter instead of ammonia and other synthetic fertilizers has proven to increase nutrients in produce, with higher levels of vitamins and minerals found in organic food, according to the 2005 study, “Elevating Antioxidant levels in food through organic farming and food processing,” Organic Center State of
Science Review.

Taste Better and Truer Flavor.  Scientists now know what we eaters have
known all along: organic food often tastes better. It makes sense that
strawberries taste yummier when raised in harmony with nature, but researchers at Washington State University just proved this as fact in lab taste trials
where the organic berries were consistently judgedas sweeter.
Plus, new research verifies that some organic produce is often lower in nitrates and higher in antioxidants than conventional food.

Assist Family Farmers of all Sizes.  According to Organic Farming Research Foundation, as of 2006 there are approximately 10,000 certified organic producers in the U.S. compared to 2500 to 3,000 tracked in 1994. Measured against the two million farms estimated in the U.S. today, organic is still tiny. Family farms that are certified organic farms have a double economic benefit: they are profitable and they farm in harmony with their surrounding environment. Whether the farm is a 4-acre orchard or a 4,000-acre wheat farm, organic is a beneficial practice that is genuinely family-friendly.

Avoid Hasty and Poor Science in Your Food.  Cloned food, GMOs, and rBGH. Oh my! Interesting how swiftly these food technologies were rushed to market, when organic fought for 13 years to become federal law. Eleven years ago, genetically modified food was not part of our food supply; today an astounding 30 percent of our cropland is planted in GMOs. Organic is the only de facto seal of reassurance against these and other modern, lab-produced additions to our food supply, and the only food term with built in inspections and federal regulatory teeth.

Eating with a Sense of Place.  Whether it is local fruit, grains or artisan cheese, organic can demonstrate a reverence for the land and its people. No matter the zip code, organic has proven to use less energy (on average, about 30 percent less), is beneficial to soil,water and local habitat, and is safer for the people who harvest our food. Eat more seasonably by supporting your local farmers while also supporting a global organic economy year round.

Promote Biodiversity.  Visit an organic farm and you’ll notice something: a buzz of animal, bird and insect activity. These organic oases are thriving, diverse habitats. Native plants, birds and hawks return usually after the first season of organic practices; beneficial insects allow for a greater balance, and indigenous animals find these farms a safe haven. As best said by Aldo Leopold, “A good farm must be one where the native flora and fauna have lost acreage without losing their existence.” An organic farm is the equivalent of reforestation. Industrial farms are the equivalent of clear cutting of native habitat with a focus on high farm yields.

Celebrate the Culture of Agriculture.  Food is a ‘language’ spoken in every culture. Making this language organic allows for an important cultural revolution whereby diversity and biodiversity are embraced and chemical toxins and environmental harm are radically reduced, if not eliminated. The simple act of saving one heirloom seed from extinction, for example, is an act of biological and cultural conservation. Organic is not necessarily the most efficient farming system in the short run. It is slower, harder, more complex and more labor-intensive. But for the sake of culture everywhere, from permaculture to human culture, organic should be celebrated at every table.
