One of my goals as a wellness coach is to help people tap into resources available to them, that will help them engage in a healthy lifestyle. At one point, I highlighted Fresh Thyme, in Fort Wayne. That being said, there are many people that live outside of Fort Wayne for which accessing organic, healthy food can be largely inconvenient. One possible solution to that problem is Green BEAN Delivery. Green BEAN Delivery is a midwest company that is built on the idea that people should be able to access local, healthy, sustainable food in a convenient, affordable way. Green BEAN is a subscription based service which delivers your food directly to your doorstep.

The way this works for you is that you select how much local produce you want to receive each delivery as your base. You can either receive a pre-selected variety of fruits and vegetables, or you can customize your order online. Once you've reached your minimum order of produce, you can also choose to add on additional groceries, which include the following.

You have the ability to set your own schedule, whether it's a weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly delivery. You can choose to skip a delivery or suspend them altogether at any point, without any penalties if you choose to resume.

To see a sample bin, along with what groceries Green BEAN offers, visit their online store.

Green BEAN Delivery doesn't offer its deliveries to every home. To check whether your address is within their delivery zone, visit this page. If your home is not within their delivery zone, there are some employees on Fort Wayne Metals' first shift that have coordinated their drop off here. They ask to receive a call upon arrival and meet the delivery driver to intercept their bin. Your bins come with an insulated liner and ice packs, so you do not need to be home to receive your food.
