Get your veggies and fruit for LESS

I shared with everyone about the food co-op that you can order from.    

You order a fruit/veggie basket from the website and then go pick it up at the given locations.  Orders can be placed Monday and Tuesday and locations have pick up on Saturday (times vary by location).  A basket consists of roughly half fruit and half vegetables and almost fills a rectangular laundry basket.  The exact fruits and vegetables aren't promised before hand, but will follow the seasonal items and they try to keep it a mixture of items.  There are also extra offerings sometimes like bread, special groupings of italian vegetables or salsa makings.  The website will have more details on the order days for these types of things.  

As this is a co-op you bring your own baskets/bags to haul your bounty home and they ask you give some volunteer time before to help sort the produce.  But you save on the cost.  Calculated you will get roughly 2 times the produce you would normally get for the money.  And they do their best to use local producers so you can feel good you are helping your local farmer.  

For more details and prices check the FAQ page for Bountiful Baskets.
