Here at Good Work Group headquarters, we loves us some local farms, CSAs, and fresh veggies. Even more--we love the folks who are helping deliver

Here’s a startling fact: The average one-way trip to the grocery store is five miles. In one year, that can amount to 2.7 million tons of CO2 emissions. In fact, if every person pledged to drive five fewer miles per week, that would amount to as many as 18,000 fewer cars on the road every year.

Here at Good Work Group headquarters, we loves us some local farms, CSAs, and fresh veggies. Even more–we love the folks who are helping deliver these goodies to people all over the Twin Cities. And it’s with equal amounts of giant, wrap-our-arms-around-it-love that we’re excited about entrepreneurs who are answering the call for sustainable food and sustainable methods of delivery. Enter VeloVeggies, a new Twin Cities bike-delivery venture that promises special-event catering and home delivery of farm-fresh farmer’s market foods, CSA shares, and groceries.

It’s true: VeloVeggies let’s you skip the stores, the CSA pick-ups, and the weekend trips to the farmer’s market and instead brings the food right to your door.

And along with offering zer0-emissions pick-up and delivery of sustainable foods, the pedal pushers also will pick up your weekly compostables and return the worm castings to you for use in the garden.
