A few weeks ago, the fine folks at Green B.E.A.N. contacted me about some updates in the works. I reviewed Green B.E.A.N. a few years ago and concluded then that the service was useful and cost effective, so I was interested to see what was new. My brother in law and his wife recently welcomed their first baby, Lil's first cousin, into the world. They live in Saint Louis which is too far for us to support them in our usual way by making meals. Unlike flowers that fade and clothes that are outgrown quickly, new parents can always use healthy food. The email from Green B.E.A.N. came at exactly the right time because Green BEAN could deliver for us!
Ordering a gift through Green B.E.A.N. was simple. I just set up an account with my payment information and my brother in law's delivery address. I chose the organic produce I want delivered plus a few healthy treats each week. Green B.E.A.N., available in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky, takes care of the rest.
The recently redesigned website features enticing photographs and descriptions of each option. Items you add to the bin are conveniently displayed on the right sidebar so you don't have to scroll up and down the page to see your total. I appreciate the methods of sorting the available foods because I can easily select vegan foods for my sister in law and see which vegetables are coming from local farms.
I'm impressed with the updates to the website and the ease of ordering for my out-of-town family. The account information is easy to access and it will be easy to cancel when I'm ready. I feel good about sending my growing family some healthy, growing food.
If you want to give the gift of Green B.E.A.N. delivery or start up service yourself, use code 15HHml for $15 off your first bin through July 29.
Disclosure: Green B.E.A.N. provided one bin for my review. I purchased the gift bins myself and all opinions remain my own.
