Green Lane, an agricultural assistance NGO in Armenia, offers home
delivery of organic produce every week.
How does it work? The staff at the head office in Yerevan send a weekly
email to subscribers with the available produce and other food items
that can be ordered that week. Apart from the usual eggplant, carrots,
potatoes and cabbage, one can find such items as red curly lettuce,
cherry tomatoes, ginger, zucchini, and a variety of sprouts.
Other non-produce organic items include dry legumes, bread, flour,
eggs, tea and the top two most exciting items available (in our
opinion): soy milk and tofu!
In keeping in line with their ecologically sustainable vision, the
NGO also offers the option of having items delivered in paper and
reusable cloth bags (for an additional fee).
Furthermore, according to the organization’s website, the NGO assists
farmers with a number of initiatives aimed at sustaining rural life
and agriculture in Armenia. Some of the projects Green Lane is involved
in are capacity building for farmers on organic farming and low input
sustainable agriculture, working with Women Farmer Groups in Armenia,
and establishing and managing farmer associations.
