I logged into my account at the appropriate time and clicked on customize. They had a list of stuff they had already planned to send me, and I had the option to edit.
I took out the mushrooms, but, if I liked mushrooms, they had a lot. I also got rid of the cilantro. They had a pretty good proportion of organics, which I was "allowed" to buy even though I have a "conventional" box. I got mainly seasonal produce, citrus, etc. I did splurge on some organic dates. They weren't much more than the conventional dates and not a large package. I got potatoes, stuff like that.
I would like to eat seasonally, stuff like that has got to have more nutrition, but I did get some blueberries from Chile because I love berries. I liked how they had each imperfection listed so I could decide if it was something I wanted.
A lot of it was "surplus" - too much of it on the market. Other things had cosmetic issues that won't matter to me.
So far it has been a good experience.
Now I'm off to snack on my sugar snap peas because I have more coming on Friday.

So glad the produce box works for you! Do you ever visit your local farmers markets? I hear there are some nice once’s in Houston?
I did, once, and got some great stuff. BUT it was 2 hours each way on the bus. I could have driven to San Antonio in that amount of time. So better to pay a little more and have it dropped on my porch.
It's going to be interesting in the summer, though. A lot of stuff won't keep on the porch in that heat. But I will worry about that when summer arrives, or I can get that produce delivered from Walmart.
Happily I am finding a lot of options that work for me.
