Irv & Shelly's Fresh Picks

Inspired by their own quest to find locally grown, organic food to serve their kids, Irv and Shelly decided to start their own network of independent farmers and deliver their produce to Chicagoans’ doorsteps. Drawing on their backgrounds in economic development and nonprofit environmental activities, the two connected with suppliers such as Jack Erisman of Goldmine Farms in Pana, Illinois—where beef has been raised USDA-certified and organic since 1993—and Harmony Valley in Viroqua, Wisconsin, where 30 years of experience is put to work cultivating high-quality vegetables and berries. As Irv and Shelly deliver the yield from their partners, they choose the most efficient route so as to reduce their carbon footprint. This means they can’t promise specific delivery times, but most orders arrive in the afternoon in boxes whose client-customized bounty is kept fresh by ice packs.

The Groupon Guide to: Endangered Species

Due to environmental factors, the encroachment of the cities of man, or invasive predators, new flora and fauna are being added to the list of threatened or endangered species every day. What are some rare species you can help protect?

The Red-Crested Beakbill
Natural Environment: Area immediately adjacent to flourishing timber mills
Reason for Endangerment: Eggs look and taste exactly like Skittles

The Crenshaw Daffodil
Natural Environment: The bellies of woodchippers left dormant under a tarp during mild winters
Reason for Endangerment: Qualify as universal legal currency throughout all international Disney theme parks

The Houndtoothed Salmon
Natural Environment: Ponds inside sushi restaurants
Reason for Endangerment: Skin that makes everyone wonder what it would look like dry

The Yellin' Bear
Natural Environment: Poorly lit rural highways
Reason for Endangerment: Blood feud with six generations of McAllister mayors in neighboring Granville, West Virginia

Which endangered species has a blood feud with humanity?
