Farrmer’s Fix is a new company that delivers freshly made salads to your door (or work door). I was offered to try them out which came at the perfect timing since the salads were delivered on Superbowl Sunday – and we all know how we all eat during that particular day. I figured we’d commit to eating one salad a day for one week and see how we felt. They make eight different salads that come in a 24oz compostable container. Farmer’s Fix delivers on a Sunday or Monday.
I placed the order I think by a Wednesday to ensure a Sunday delivery. Ordering is easy as it’s done online. Salads are $10/each if you order more than five per week.
The salads are well chilled in the insulated bag. An ice pack is also inside the green bag to help keep the salads nice and cold.
A note is tucked into the bag that gives more description on the company.
Ingredients: Carrot, celery, cilantro, red bell pepper, red onion, romaine lettuce, scallion, sesame stick, snow pea
The dressing and sesame sticks are inside the salad but are in their own separate containers. I thought the dressing wouldn’t be enough but it was for this portion size (and probably a good thing for calories too). The salad tasted light, crunchy, and refreshing. Fear not as the peppers, onions, and scallions are on the bottom of the container so all the ingredients are indeed in there.
My trick is to add the dressing, put back the main lid, and then vigorously shake the container to get everything coated with the dressing. I have to admit that I craved for diced chicken in this Chopped Chinese salad though.
Ingredients: Almond, arugula, celery, farro, feta cheese, kalamata olive, red bell pepper, scallion
This was after tossing with the sherry vinaigrette. This was a favorite as there was a saltiness (from olives) and slight bitterness that was balanced out by the fluffy farro.
Ingredients: Castelvetrano olive, lentils du Puy, parmesan, shallot, spinach, tarragon, walnut, yellow bell pepper
The shallots and green olives worked well in this salad. The lentils were a bit squeaky.
Ingredients: Carrot, castelvetrano olive, corn, farro, pistachio, scallion, spinach, yellow bell pepper
The Field and Garden was another nice salad as there was so much going on in it. The olives were good, carrots gave it a nice crunch, and the scallions gave it a distinctive onion punch.
Ingredients: Black bean, cherry tomato, chickpea, cilantro, corn, poblano pepper, red onion, romaine lettuce, sunflower seed
The black beans were better tasting than the lentils in a previous salad. Poblano peppers added a nice heat. The cilantro tied in the Southwest feel and taste to this salad.
We were impressed how fresh the salads stayed for over a week in the refrigerator. The convenience value was great but the paying value would be steep for those who can get salads elsewhere on their own. The ingredients used at Farmer’s Fix were top quality and tasted quite fresh. A protein option (chicken, salmon, etc) would be nice in the future as well. Overall, we enjoyed Farmer’s Fix and would order from them again in the future.
