Door to Door Organic’s Review
Door to Door Organic’s Review
Door to Door Organics delivers a box brimming with farm-fresh organic produce & curated natural, local groceries to your door every week. Say goodbye to parking-lot angst, checkout-line waits & junk-food siren calls. Delivery day will soon become your family’s favorite day of the week.
Door to Door Organics is a fresh, fun company that expanded into Ohio in May of 2015. Door to Door Organics teams up with local farmers to provide that area with fresh, organic produce and other organic groceries straight to your door. According to a new study, “despite good intentions, majority of consumers (88%) struggle to eat healthy due to busy schedules and misperception about healthy cooking…nearly half of respondents (48%) claimed their day was either “very busy” or “extremely busy”…they had on average only 82 minutes of of free time every day…”. We know how important healthy eating, exercising and getting enough sleep is. We have heard it a million times. Now we can do something about it…well…at least the healthy eating part!
Concept
Door to Door Organics is a service which allows the consumer to shop online for all their grocery needs. What makes Door to Door different from other online grocery services it that they buy their produce and other select items from your local state’s farmers. You can get all that yummy, local, high quality, organic produce sent right to your home. No need to find time to drive to your farmers market between swimming lessons and dance class. No need to take your kids out of their car seats only to keep them from grabbing the berries off display, then strap them back in their car seat 7 minutes later. You can support your local farmers, eat fresh and organic, without stressing yourself out and wasting your precious family time.
Door to Door Organics only offers Good Food. What this means is they only offer, “food that’s good for your health, our community, and the planet, and food that most definitely makes your family’s bellies happy!” Their top Good Food labels are: organic, made with organic ingredients, non-GMO, & local.

Mama’s 1st Delivery
For my first delivery I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I wanted to see how they package my items varying from produce to proteins to non perishables.
Here is what I ordered:
- a Medium Mixed box
- Alaskan wild-caught salmon
- Organic grass-fed New York strip steak
- Organic grass-fed flank steak
- Organic feta crumbles
- Organic Justin’s peanut butter cups
- Organic pineapple
- Organic blueberries
- Organic strawberries
- Organic green onions
My delivery came in 2 boxes. The first box contained all of my proteins. The meat was sealed tightly for my safety and was fully frozen. The produce and non perishable candy was in the second box. They both contained a perfect amount of insulation. With paper, dry ice and air padding, nothing was damaged or bruised. My shipment was later on the route and I received it around 5 pm. My meat was showing no signs of being thawed. I am highly impressed.

There is no reason why you should just try out the service. You can cancel at any time.

The Mustard Man – A Review
The Mustard Man
“You should do something with this!” Were the words that Tim, the owner and creator of The Mustard Man, would constantly hear. For years Tim would make his homemade mustard and bring it to social gatherings and family holidays. Everyone wanted to have some of his amazing creation. It all started with him making it for a tailgating event and once that ball started to roll there was no way to stop it, and we are so glad it didn’t!
The Mustard Man is an Ohio based company. They are currently available at upscale retailers such as: Heinen’s, West Point Market, Anderson’s, Buehler’s and many more. They are constantly gaining popularity and becoming available in more upscale retailers. You are also able to make purchases through their website (click here to order today). The Mustard Man ships anywhere across the US
The Mustard Man has 3 unique flavors which are so versatile that you can use them every day. Simply Horsey, Simply Peppered, and Simply Sweet are the current flavors The Mustard Man has available.
“A very smooth Horseradish taste that won’t make your eyes water but will tickle your palate. An Excellent addition to Roast Beef, Prime Rib, Corned Beef, Brats, Burgers, hard boiled eggs, and salads. Goes great with a Sharp Cheese and crackers.”
**I love this on tater tots
“You must love ground black pepper. This mustard is a perfect match for your Grilled meats like Steaks, Chicken, Burgers, Brats. Simply Peppered goes great with roasted vegetables and is excellent in our “Potato Gratin” recipe.”
**I think this sauce would be perfect on a left over Easter ham sandwich.
This Mustard is definitely a great “Party Dip” for Chips, Cheese, Crackers, Burgers, Brats, Deli Sandwiches, Chicken Salad, Tuna Salad, Chicken Tenders, or Chicken Nuggets. You might think Deviled Eggs or Egg Salad.”
**I would pair this sweet potato fries.

Why Ohio? Things to do in Ohio
Are you looking for things to do in Ohio?
Then you have come to the right place. Ohio is such a beautiful and family-oriented state. I moved here approximately 15 years ago. Before living here my honest opinion of Ohio was, “it has a lot of hills and colleges.” That’s it. End of my brain energy on Ohio. Now I see Ohio for that it really is. A beautiful state filled with rolling hillsides, open country, booming cities, strong small business growth (with some even managing to begin investing in marketing experts for tree care providers, to name but one example of how far their reach has grown), and more than you can imagine doing. For those that are planning on moving here, a word of advice, make sure you have all your important documents and needs sorted before you move to your new home, you don’t want to get there and a disaster happen to find out you’re not fully covered yet. There are companies such as First American Home Warranty that deal with Ohio housing needs in this area, to make sure your belongings are safe within your home.
