Bountiful Baskets

Bountiful Baskets is a nearly nationwide food co-op.  From their How It Works page they say,

This is a grass roots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative.

Produce baskets are $15 with a $1.50 processing fee.  Most locations offer weekly pick-up and a few only have every other week pick-up.  Some locations also offer organic baskets, tropical baskets, bread, granola and more.  Unfortunately my location does not offer organic baskets at this time, but I hope that will change in the future.

I purchased and picked up my first basket from them this week and I will be doing so again.  This week's basket included:

• 4 huge peaches
• 6 large nectarines
• 2 large mangos
• 1 giant head of romaine
• 8 sweet potatoes
• 5 large beets
• 1 bunch of broccoli
• 2 bulbs of fennel
• 1 bunch of celery
• 2 large cucumbers
• 6 ears of corn

This is similar to the amount of produce we received weekly when we belonged to a CSA.  I encourage you to check and see if there is a location near you.

I've never gotten fennel before. . .Did you get the organic basket?

My location does not offer the organic basket. I wish they did and am hopeful that they will in the future. We love fennel, but I don't often buy it because it tends to be expensive. This was a treat for us.
