Isador's Organic and Natural Foods opened quietly more than two years ago at 250 Main St. in Oxford. Nestled behind a house next to PT Pet Supply, you've got to catch the sandwich board sign out front, or know that it's there. And thankfully, more and more people are realizing it's there.
Featuring Boar's Head deli meats, gourmet cheeses, nuts, veggies, fruits, marinades, and other fine deli type items, it's a great place to do a part of your weekly shopping, and grab a soup and sandwich (he also offers specials every day that go far beyond the sandwich).
But Isador's offers another service that is relatively new for them - monthly home delivery (though they have offered catering for some time).
Starting with the "Food Miles Box" at $25 and topping off at the "Large Box" and "Fruit Box" for $45, Isador's picks from the best local, organic growers around, putting together a shopping list of fruits and/or veggies and delivered to your door each month. Everything in these boxes is from local growers, when possible, only occasionally extending to Maine or Florida when absolutely necessary.
Obviously, what ends up in the delivery box is largely based on the season's bounty - you're not going to get an abundance of nectarines in December. And hey, that's the whole fun of it all - an experienced produce buyer choosing what's best for you. Also, Isador's tailors your box according to your tastes (if, for instance, you cannot stand broccoli, you won't get any or if you cannot get enough strawberries, it'll be heavy on that...when possible).
Add-ons are also available for delivery, such as Hebert Honey, Cooper's Milk, Boar's Head meats and cheeses and GT Dave's Kombucha.
Sounds like a fine complement to Dr. Gonzo's Condiments on Main Street in Worcester, which will be featured soon.
