Free food from Timber Creek Farms! (must be in Chicagoland) http://froebe.net/blog/2009/06/30/contest-free-food-from-timber-creek-farms-must-be-in-chicagoland/ http://froebe.net/blog/2009/06/30/contest-free-food-from-timber-creek-farms-must-be-in-chicagoland/#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:45:15 +0000 Jason L Froebe http://froebe.net/blog/?p=1080 Froebe Fibers

Our contest for today is for the new, exciting WHOLE AND CHUNKY FRUIT BOX from TCF Organics.  The box contains a wide selection of fruits, some whole (obviously) and some already cut and prepped for you!  Anything that is appropriate to cut, like pineapple and melons, will arrive cut up and ready to eat.  Things that would turn brown, like apples, pears, and bananas, arrive whole, perfect for out-of-hand eating.

The box is normally a $35 value, including delivery.  And TCF is letting me give one away!

So, you want the details?  Not a problem!

To win this wonderful box full of fruit, delivered right to your door, you need to live within 100 miles of Chicago.  Please click this link to make sure that you are part of the delivery area.  If you enter, and aren’t eligible, I’m sorry to say that I’ll have to choose someone else.  So please, only enter if you can actually get the box.

Otherwise, all you have to do is leave a comment [at http://k2p2.net/blog2/2009/06/29/contest-time], saying what day TCF delivers to your area.  (You can find that out, conveniently enough, here.)
