Like so many people, your New Year’s resolution is to boycott the bruised store-bought peaches that keep trying to poison you with their pesticides and cynical outlook on life. Today’s deal fills up your larder with fresh, organic fruits and veggies from Nature's Garden Delivered. You get a box of local, organic produce delivered to your doorstep for $19 (a $39.14 value after tax). This price includes delivery, but you must be within the radius of Nature’s Garden’s 60-mile Atlanta delivery area. Produce boxes are delivered Tuesday through Thursday, and you don’t have to be home to receive your produce.
Start by choosing a small fruit box, veggie box, or mixed box of both. Each small box includes a palate-pleasing assortment of edibles. The contents change each week, depending on what’s in season and how many are pilfered in transit by a hungry moose and a deserving porcupine. The fruit box has Golden Delicious apples, Rome Beauty apples, avocados, bananas, mangos, oranges, pears, and tangelos, while the veggie box has seasonal greens including rutabagas, onions, and squash. Shoppers have the option to substitute or add items to their orders, just like at less-healthy deep-fried sundae bars, but without the guilt and stomach explosions. All Nature’s Garden produce is organic, and most is locally grown. Co-founders Michael Kirk and Scott Frishman run a carbon-neutral facility that recycles or composts all of its waste.
A box of fruit, vegetables, or both allows you to escape a preservative- and pesticide-filled life without leaving home or building a protective toffee bodysuit. Your surprise farm bounty packages will also encourage you to get creative in the kitchen, instead of falling back on your go-to meal of “Hot Pockets dipped in whatever condiments the Chinese place threw in the bag.”

They Stalk By Night
The Greenmen came in the night. They wore no clothes and instead had feathery skin of interlocking leaves, most resembling a cabbage, but one more-reminiscent of artichoke hide.
They effortlessly picked the lock on my bedroom window with their long, string-bean figures and slid through, nimble as carrots, silent as skinned tomatoes. They wore goggles on their foreheads, the straps woven from stalk fiber, the lenses just opaque slices of potato, serving no purpose other than menace.
They asked me who I was, whom I worked for. They asked about “The Gardener.” I leapt from my bed, revealing the paring knife in my waistband, the bottle of ranch beneath my pillow. They shrieked like wind hissing through corn silk as with fist and jaw, leaf by leaf, I undid them.
