Bountiful Baskets

I found out about Bountiful Baskets from another blogger, so I decided to try it out this week. It is fairly new to this area, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was very impressed. The produce I brought home was great, and well over the amount I paid. It was run very efficiently - I showed up a little after 7 am, and was in line, checked off their list, and loading my produce into my bag within 5 minutes. The cost as a first time attendee was $19.50 - $15.00 for the produce, $3.00 for the first time fee, and $1.50 handling. After today I'll only pay the $16.50 each time I participate. I came home with 2 bunches of asparagus, 1 bunch of celery, 1 lb. bag of mini carrots, 8 bananas, 4 honey tangerines, 6 grapefruit, 4 small oranges, 13 apples, 2 beets, 15 red potatoes, 2 cucumbers and 1 large bunch of leaf lettuce. I highly recommend this co-op - it was well worth my money and time. And if you are interested in doing this, and live on my side of town, I'd be happy to pick up for you or we can trade off and on.
