A friend told me about this and I just had to try it. On Monday or Tuesday, you pay $15 online for an order that you pick up on the following Saturday. Your order can be organic for an extra $10. There are also "extras" that you can add on, based on what is available. Nothing is sold at the site (a local park), you just show them your pre-paid ticket and load 'er up. There are locations all over town. My pickup location was about 5 miles away.
50% of the basket is fruit and the other 50% is vegetables. It was so nice to just drive up and pile this all in my car at once! I paid an extra $8.50 for the "Mexican Pack." One of my favorite new foods is Fruit Salsa. I had no idea how delicious salsa and fruit were when mixed together! See if there is a co-op in your area: Bountifulbaskets.org. There's no commitment, just order when you want some. Mmmmmmm!!

| The mexican pack - garlic, onions, peppers, limes, cilantro, tomatillos, assorted peppers, avocados |
Definitely let us know how it goes. I wonder about fruit with skins (apples, grapes) and celery (the strings). Sounds like a great deal !
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's a lot of "danger" foods included. It's scary at first, but I haven't had any issues for a while. Today I had a nectarine WITH the skin! Woooo! Made sure to chew it well, but not a single problem. I LOOOOOVE celery with peanut butter -- I think I'm going to try some tonight (with powdered PB, as regular PB does not agree with my band at all). A lot of it is stuff that I would never have bought on my own, but I'll give 'em a try. For 15 bucks, it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteis that angel food? I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing - I'll have to check it out. Thanks for sharing. :)
