This year we are partnering with Scott Dickinson of Natural Direct to bring fresh Plow Creek produce right to your door. Natural Direct, based in Oswego, provides weekly deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables by combining the best of what's in season from ten small North-Central Illinois farms.
Of course, we will supply a majority of the berries.
Following a trial run last year, we can confidently recommend Natural Direct as an excellent distributor. Scott works hard to maintain high quality standards and treat both grower and customer right. Depending on your desired portion size, the cost is $20, $30 or $40 per week.
To enroll, contact Scott by phone at 630-551-7878 or e-mail info@naturaldirect.com
