Fresh Fruit/Veggies

Since June, we have been participating in a food co-op called Bountiful Baskets. For $15/week we recieve 2 laundry baskets, one of fruit and one of vegetables. I can not remember the last time we've had to purchase produce at the store.

We are definitely expanding our comfort zone with food which we'd never buy; Fennel, which we made African Chicken Stew, Persimmon, Oroblanco, and Pomegranates which made a wonderful fruit salad. In addition to the new (to us) items, we receive apples, strawberries, blackberries, bananas, grapes, 5 lb bag of potatoes, sweet potatoes, celery, broccoli, avocados, cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, etc... The great thing is that the produce changes every week.

We LOVE it!

Wow, sounds like you got yourself a good deal. Fresh fruits and veggies are great source of vitamins and minerals. I wish we had something like that here too.
