knew i had the same kind of service when i lived in charlotte and i loved it so when i moved back here i looked for the same type of service and i found they had a lot of co ops where you go to someone's house and you pick up a box or a bag of vegetables but there wasn't any delivery and i had you know three kids and i just picking up at someone's house just wasn't gonna work for me so i thought well this is a great idea let me see about and i did all the research and within six weeks had my website up and running and i was ready to go i remember the first week in my living room with produce all over my couch and chairs and eight boxes and there is me in the van with this look of terror on my face and i remember thinking what have i done what have i gotten myself into and last week we did one hundred fifty deliveries  in a box of organic vegetables to your house every week so every week it's a different menu depending on what's seasonally available what is going to be fresh at the time that i receive my deliver i'm very picky i won't take anything that's been sitting in a warehouse for a long time i want things that are still in the field haven't been harvested they go online they choose the size of box so there's three different sized boxes depending on their size of family and how often they cook then they set their schedules so if they want once a week every other week once a month if they know they're going to be gone for four weeks they just click on those weeks and it stops delivery you can also add to the box so once you set up your schedule on thursday you'll get an e mail saying here's the menu this week it's time to make your subs and ads you log on to your account you make kind of customize your box so if you don't like broccoli and you want more apples you can make that happen and then say you need eggs and chicken that week you add those things say you want a loaf of bread from the local bakery can add that as well and then the following tuesday or wednesday depending on your zip code we deliver it to your door that easy if you know you're not going to be home leave a cooler outside with a couple ice packs inside we open the cooler we take the whole bag we put it right in the cooler and it's fresh ready cold ready for you when you get home i had a comment last week a lady said i'm so glad i don't have to make any decisions anymore i just eat whatever you bring me it's in the box if i don't know what something is that's something i get to research and then i'm eating things i never would choose for myself going to the store a lot of times we choose the same thing over and over again and it gets repetitive this is eating seasonally which is what your body needs at the time your body doesn't need watermelon in december it needs watermelon in july when it's hot it's hydration so i mean eating seasonally is important plus we do we kind of expand your horizons it's hard enough to find good quality organic food in the grocery store to go to three or four different grocery stores just to try and get a meal together is more trouble than it's worth to me this puts it all together she even has recipes on her website each box has q r code on it you can scan it it takes you to some ideas some recipes for that in boxes ingredients are out today a dozen bagels but that last week than i am my mom and dad my dad's a c p a my mom's and accountants they do my accounting for me and for an off my financial statement and family dinner on sunday they'll be like let's go for the financial statement so wonderful it's great though i wouldn't have it any other way we deliver from parish ellington down to venice we're adding miacca valley i think i just hired a new driver that wants to go a little bit more and so that that's our next venture and  yeah it's just it's great i'm excited people ask me why did i choose white picket produce as the name and that's exactly why white picket you when you think of white picket you think of purity think safe you think of family and that's kind of what we do we provide safe food for your family so it just kind of all goes with it i love being able to bring produce that i know doesn't have my dad he would come home and night and religious practice acupuncture doesn't require belief in order to work that would disregard it as a medical modality and also it was often referred to or has been often referred to as alternative medicine yet you know it's been around for debatably five thousand years so western medicine that's only three hundred years is arguably be alternative yeah i was having some like hormonal problems some different health problems that i've had while i've had some issues with my leg because i had an injury i was dealing with some things i mean just some some sort of like stuff along those lines i was like trying to figure out you know sort of the best way to go about  than what the patient has put on their form really what what acupuncture is doing is it creating micro trauma to the body every time i insert a needle through your skin now of course i'm gearing up making it comfortable for you yet i can't trick your brain you know the brain knows that there's a foreign object through the skin and the points that i choose our respective either to the patients chief complaint or what i have objectively noticed in their t and pulse that requires me to encourage the body to heal or balance something i think a lot of people are afraid of and hearing needles and they're all it's a needle but it's not a  not like when you get lab work done it's not like that and i'm not a big needle person either a blood but just close your eyes to be closer and she's got relaxing music you know the essential oils and everything and yet doesn't hurt or hurt  doesn't hurt at all acupuncture needles are very different from the type of needles that most people are used to most people are very used to hypodermic needles which we use for injections or for drawing  and the chief difference between those and acupuncture needles is that these are solid and needles have to be hollow because they're a conduit acupuncture in sarasota is something that we see a lot of and that's because we're fortunate enough to have a really great acupuncture school here so when i was graduating i really wanted to set myself up to offer acupuncture in a way in which people could afford it to receive the best effectiveness from it and what i see often in sarasota is that sometimes the price point for acupuncture maybe doesn't lend itself to our entire target market and the target market for acupuncture is everybody so the difference about it's what we do here versus another acupuncture office that you might find in sarasota is that we offer a community whole pay scale so that means that a patient can pay whatever they feel they can afford for their treatment talk to them you know get a good of you know sort of you know get an idea of you know how they operate here and i think like honestly just meeting brim and being able to talk to her and just see how you know how much she i guess the passion that she has for what she does i don't know i think a lot of people would probably have water there any sort of quelled by you know if you're in a safe confident hands although i treat patients for you know my grades and i'll see patients who don't have my grades for months on end then i can call that a success story  i often find my smaller successes in people having a greater understanding of their own body chemistry in their own health because that's what breeds patient compliance when they're not in the office with me you know if i crux on the fact that i'm the success story behind every person then i am removing the fact that all i did with the needles was encourage their body to heal more quickly you just feel better you know and that lasts them is not like like an hour you the best job in the world because here i get so you know play soothing music could have low lie you know provide this beautiful stationery but what i think a lot of people don't realize is that as i am treating someone  back to me that they don't realize is so strong you know the this symbiosis of what i do is is what really makes it not seem like work i'll steal the cliche that if you are lucky enough to find something you love then you never work again your life she is fantastic i love brienne she's awesome anything you have a problem with you just talk to her and she tells you she doesn't know research it for  you get back with you and let you know she's funny she like those jokes and self and then she just like told you to breathe if she thinks it's going to hurt just the tiniest bit just like breathing and you can feel it very smart she's got more knowledge than anybody i know and stuff like this so that's great and you know it just really makes you feel at ease and is the most fulfilling thing you know a lot of people come through the door here because it's a last resort you know i see a lot of people who have been at their wit's end of other you know care and it's it's the most flattering thing when people even just find sanctuary in you for listening to them so not that i would ever want to justify maybe my inability to help someone's chief complaint if i can provide medical knowledge like you know  even listening to their entire issue and maybe providing whatever type of diagnostics i can i really want to to pay it forward in that respect so i i have had my health my life and my perspective changed because of this medicine and the people in it and i only hope that i can c
