I thought this was hilarious personally but in general, this kind of comment doesn't really add to the discussion and feels not very appropriate for HN.
Prices are obviously a bit high, but the quality is amazing. They treat staff incredibly well. They do lots of employee training so people really can work their way up from Janitor to whatever they want. Pay has always been above average. All finances are essentially open-book to employees and they go through each businesses (it's a conglomerate now) monthly/quarterly finances on a whiteboard with the team members so that everyone understands where they're at.
I know you’re getting downvoted because of product placement not adding to a discussion, but I have to say that having food items that are all represented by a drawing doesn’t inspire confidence in me. I’m looking at bread and all I see is a cartoon — I have no way of evaluating it from that page. A photo of bread can tell me a ton about the quality of the bake, and if this is more generic grocery store or is something properly done by an artisan.
In person this becomes even more obvious. I don’t see this being a good way to shop for food by mail.
Thanks for the link and suggestion- just stocked up on fun stuff for our upcoming July Yosemite trip. Road snacks and sunset violet mustard, white asparagus, cured ham and comte cheese, with a coffee cake for pre-hike and mid-hike noms.

However, I will absolutely take the opportunity to plug a food-by-mail company that is very near and dear to my heart:

Sometimes ordering food by mail is awesome.
