I have been hearing about food co-ops from people off and on but have never really tried one. Our friends had us over last weekend with some other friends of theirs and they both were talking about Bountiful Baskets and how great they were. Bountiful Baskets is a food co-op. They buy things in bulk and run on volunteers. You pay a small fee each time you want to participate and get whatever they happened to get a good deal on for the week. I picked up my basket on Saturday at 7:30AM. I was surprised at how much stuff I got, and it is all great quality produce. It cost me $15 and I got:
-1 pineapple
-strawberries
-7 ears of corn
-2 tomatoes
-8 apples
-1 honeydew
-3 pummelos
-a bag of spinich
-2 cucumbers
-7 bananas
-2 squash
-6 sweet potatoes
I wish I had gotten a picture, but I forgot.
