Bountiful Baskets

I've been wanting to try the local produce co-op 'Bountiful Baskets' for a while, and finally placed an order this week. For a 'contribution' DSC_3780_modof only $15, you get a share of a large group purchase of grocery store-quality produce, which you pick up at a park/location near you. I was surprised at the quantity - for this cycle we got: 8 bananas, 5 apples, 6 plumots, a bag of cherries, 1 lb of strawberries, 4 lb of grapes, 8 plum tomatoes, a (large!) bag of green beans, 2 bunches of celery, 2 zucchinis, and a head of cauliflower. It might be better to split it with someone, as there is so much! But it truly is a bargain and I'll probably try it again.
