I kind of cheated; I joined a farm co-op.
I had to invest up front, something we seem reluctant to do when on a tight budget. Now I go pick up a bag of produce every Tuesday. For a busy single (who left the country right after the second bag), fresh, healthy food is a rare pleasure. But it's been a challenge getting it all cooked before it goes bad.
So far, so very good. If I have to run out of town, I share a few things with my sister or cousin. The rare nights I'm home, I've been trying new recipes. I've even got a few bags put up in the freezer!
