These days, everyone is trying to get the most value for their money. As prices continue to rise across the board, it’s more important than ever to make the most of everyday staples. When we talk about value, staying competitive with grocery store pricing matters. For example, this week’s Original Box, factoring in organic certification when applicable, would cost about $45 at a mid-range grocery store. Our base price? $37. Plus, all the produce in our boxes is guaranteed to be California-grown, never shipped from out of the state or country.
So while it’s easy to see that the box offers real savings compared to the grocery store, we understand that figuring out how to use all that produce can sometimes feel overwhelming. One of the best ways to get the most out of your box is by customizing it. Many customers don’t realize customization is available, or feel intimidated to try it, but we promise once you do, you won’t go back! Customization allows you to swap out standard items for 15–20 additional produce options, ensuring you’re receiving ingredients you’ll truly use. All three of us in the office customize our boxes each week based on our meal plans.
Beyond produce, you can also add on everyday kitchen staples like seasonings, pasta, olive oil, and bread – everything you need to build hearty, home-cooked meals. The Talley Farms Box offers so much more than just produce.
For example, I used the carrots included in the standard box and customized my delivery to add broccoli, baby bok choy, and Bangkok Banger seasoning to make a flavorful stir fry. I paired it with pantry staples I always have on hand, ramen noodles and ground beef, for an extra layer of flavor. The result? A dish that easily fed 5–6 people. A similar stir fry at a restaurant could cost $17–$20 and would likely only feed one (maybe two), not including tax, gratuity, or any extras.
We strive to create a box you’ll use to its fullest potential – helping you feel the savings by cooking at home instead of dining out. If you ever need recipe inspiration, visit the link below or email us at FreshHarvest@TalleyFarms.com. We’re always happy to help!
