Organic food. What is that exactly? We all KNOW we should eat organic food for our families, but how do we get past all of our excuses of ” It’s too expensive… ” or ” Where do I buy it? ” or better yet, ” What’s all the hubbub about organic anyway?!” Well, we bring to you our first show with an amazing woman/mom/wife/entrepreneur, Kimberly Lanham, the CEO/Founder of GetGreenOrganics.com.

During her pregnancy, she prepared all her foods with nothing but the best for her unborn child. Organic foods and organic cooking became her family’s lifestyle. Once her son was born, she realized that the call of motherhood was stronger than the pull of career, so she decided to stay home to raise her son full time. Unfortunately, this also caused her to rethink the financial obligation of purchasing organic food. Not willing to sacrifice pure, good, healthy food, she decided to start her own organic co-op. Thus, Get Green Organics was born!

It is an incredible opportunity for families to begin purchasing organic foods for their families affordably. Orders are taken every 2 weeks online and you can look at their rather impressive list of organic foods: milk, cheese, produce, salsa, honey, chutney, nuts, you name it, they just about have it. The only items they do not carry are dry goods such as rice and flour which you can purchase at your local grocery stores. You may be asking yourself just about now, ” 2 weeks? Are you kidding me? The produce won’t last in the fridge that long?!?”

Well, did you know that with Get Green Organics, all the produce is from local farmers here in Florida and are picked fresh either that day or the day before! Not like in the grocery store where by the time it’s on the shelves, it may have been 2 weeks or more since it left the farm. Thus, waiting 2 weeks between orders is no big deal. The lettuce, strawberries, cantaloupe, cucumbers stay fresh!

So, the way it works, is you log online and register for free. There are drop off points all over Central Florida and you go on that designated pick up day and all the groceries you’ve ordered are already sorted for you and ready for pick up! To offset the cost, when you register as a member, anyone you refer to the program uses your code and you get money towards your own order! AND, if you’d like to save even more, you can be a pick up place yourself and receive even more savings/dollars applied to your order. There are all sorts of ways to save and STILL be able to eat a healthy organic diet! So, the excuse of costing too much is not an excuse anymore, right?

Another GREAT reason to support organic foods is that Get Green Organics support all local farmers and help them with their business. It is so important to help our community and to teach our children about where our foods come from. What more can I say?

So, check out Get Green Organics and get the best of both worlds… healthy food and savings too! The more people who participate in this co-op ( also, families outside our Central Florida area can order online, Kim said.) , the cheaper cost will be and the more variety of foods she can provide families.

Both Troy and myself are members and will start ordering this week. Check out their Sweet Potato Pie. Kim said it’s the tastiest one EVER!!!
