over priced purple potatoes and a small slice of salmon?

It's a totally fair criticism, and the reason we've avoided it in the past...But the grocery scene here in Big Sky is ROUGH. Blue Apron is a big step up in terms of variety and convenience. We'll see how we feel about the price point in a few weeks.

i wasn't being a critic..sorry..i'm just going off of the slickly produced commercials that I see from them..when we lived in nyc, fresh direct just started up and they gave you a something stupid like your first $50 of groceries were free if you signed up..we tried it and decided to gamble on meat and vegetables...big mistake..maybe I'm old school but I like to pick those things out myself..whats the problem with your local grocer selections?

OMG, it's brutal. A pint of organic blueberries is $14; salad greens are consistently kept on the shelf past their date, and become pure chlorophyll within a matter of days; a half-gallon of organic whole milk is about $2 more than in any other city.

It's a resort town, with about 3000 year-round residents, and the nearest city is an hour away. I am trying to morph the ice cream co into a food & bev distribution business (was pitching to a grant committee in Helena this morning for this very project). We actually get amazing meat and fish, and there is a terrific grain operation in MT that sells great product at affordable costs (like, absurdly good deals on a big bag of pre-ground flax). But everything else is coming in from so far away, and is purchased in a volume and frequency that leads to quick spoilage. I dare say Big Sky is the perfect market for Blue Apron.

how much are the non organic blueberries?

Like $9. Non-organic raspberries and strawberries are more reasonable -- probably $6-7 in Big Sky. Everything in Bozeman is reasonably priced, so we usually do a grocery run there once a week (I have a portable fridge in my vehicle). But if you need to come up with a meal at the last minute in Big Sky, you're screwed.
