yesterday i mentioned a produce co-op. bountiful baskets is the name of the co-op. i think it is a great way to get quality produce for an excellent price. we have purchased 2 "baskets" from the co-op and have been very pleased with every aspect of them. the volunteers that distribute the baskets are very nice and very helpful. i love the large variety of food provided. my favorite part of the baskets is how it cuts down on the need to grocery shop. typically i go weekly for enough food for a week's worth of meals, but i have only had to make a small trip to the store this evening for chicken and tortillas. there are no plans for a major grocery store trip until next week. fantastic, right? wouldn't you love to know exactly what i got both times?
basket 1 ($15+$3 starter fee)
*1 lb strawberries
*6 large peaches
*6 apples
*2 large tomatoes
*7 bananas
*1 bunch of asparagus
*1 cantaloupe
*1 bag of grapes

*2 stalks broccoli
