The Spokane Bountiful Baskets have now added organic fruits and veggies to their offerings each week. It is $10 more for organic. Here are a couple photos of the organic offerings they had today.

Bountiful Baskets now on the North Side!

You've seen me post about Bountiful Baskets here before, and how wonderful I think it is. Well, now they have a north side location - Salk Middle School on Francis & Alberta. Now you don't have to drive all the way up to the South Hill by 7 am to get involved! Check them out - you'll be glad you did!

Another basketful of goodies!

I participated in Bountiful Baskets again this weekend, but this time, I didn't have to get up early to go get it! My friend Alyson picked mine up for me. Another great assortment of items: 1 pineapple, 1 canteloupe, 1 honeydew, 4 oranges, 9 apples, 5 bananas, 6 large baking potatoes, 1 bunch of radishes (9), 2 lbs. + 2 ind. carrots, and 1 head of leaf lettuce. Not bad for $16.50!

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.
