Attention Locavores: Small Potatoes Urban Delivery (that's SPUD for those of you in a hurry) wants to help you feed yourself. The latest grocery delivery service on the scene, SPUD offers a wide range of fresh and local products, complete with food bios to let you know where your chow is coming from. Sourcing half of their produce from local organic farms and half of their grocery products from local food suppliers, SPUD insures that your food won't have to travel far from farm to table. After all, isn't it good to know that your organic Ciabatta loaf trekked a mere seven miles from the baker to your bread box?
While the overall look of the SPUD site is a little Web 1.0, ordering is straightforward and cost effective. Design-conscious folks, however, may find themselves drawn to the sleeker, also Seattle-based Amazon Fresh, which is an entirely different box of veggies. Although Amazon Fresh does offer local items by category, you are also welcome indulge your inner super saver by stocking up on less-than-good for you foods. Plus, Amazon.com's little sister enables you to order cookbooks and tunes to accompany your dinner party fixings.
Thus, the battle between local and large continues. Whatever service you choose, it beats pizza and breadsticks.
