I am so excited to tell you about Bountiful Baskets. I just hope that there will be one near you, so that you took can take part in this wonderful program!
My girls devour fruits and vegetables. DEVOUR. I’m not even exaggerating! A bag of apples doesn’t even last 3 days in our house. A bunch of bananas lasts MAYBE 2 days!
I’m not complaining, but dang it sure can get pricey. I used to have a garden when we had more land and that helped some, but now that we have a smaller yard (that is completely covered with shade), a garden is no longer an option.
This is where Bountiful Baskets comes in to save the day. My wonderful local blogger friend Courtney from My Crazy Savings was telling me about the program. I was afraid there wouldn’t be one near me and I was totally wrong. Thank GOD for that! I so needed this.
About Bountiful Baskets Co-op
Bountiful Baskets is not a business. It is a group of people who work together for mutual benefit.
Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op is constantly growing to reach new areas as people want to have a site close to their home. They train with an existing Volunteer Site Coordinator and then go open the new site. We run at least every two weeks at each site. Some sites run weekly. We are completely volunteer-run and make no profit. Please see our locations page for a complete listing of current sites as well as which week they run.
This is a Co-op
This is a grass roots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Without volunteers this co-op wouldn’t happen, so you will need to help as you are able. There are many opportunities to help!
Reasons to Participate
This is a great deal and you are helping others get a great deal, too. With the conventional produce offering, you get approximately $50 worth of grocery store-quality produce.
This co-op encourages a healthier lifestyle.
You meet great people!
It only cost me $15 for all of this…
There is quite a bit that you can’t really see in the photo. It’s a lot of stuff. I totally plan on doing this weekly! I also did an add on of Blackberries. 12, 6oz containers blackberries and will be teaching myself how to can and preserve them. I’ll blog it! Oh and 2lbs of granola as an add on as well!
I’m so happy!
