We wanted to share our shopping trips this week. Other than our Smiths trip earlier this week, we also picked up our organic produce basket for $25 from our produce coop, Bountiful Baskets. We had some really yummy items this week and all things that we enjoy and love, plus a papaya, which we will need to figure out how to cut and eat fresh!
When you are part of a co op, it is mystery what you will get each week, so here’s what we got today!
- 4 organic tomatoes on the vine
- 6 organic apples
- 6 organic peaches
- 6 organic mangoes
- 1 organic papaya
- 1 bunch of organic bananas
- 1 bunch of organic Kale
- 1 bunch organic broccoli
- 1 organic pineapple
- 1 bunch organic celery
- 1 organic zucchini
- 6 ears organic corn
- 1 organic garlic bulb
We really love our basket this week as everything is something we love and use often.
We have also posted this information before, but we wanted to keep posting it in these posts so that everyone reading can have some ideas on how to get involved with a produce coop:
There are many produce co-ops and grocery co op groups and it’s various forms across the nation that you can join and be a part of. A good place to start looking is at a the site localharvest.org (which id going to help you get organic local food) or coopdirectory.org (I am not sure how updated this site is as our area’s listings were old and many not listed, but at least worth a shot!) or search produce co-op your state under google and see what listings come up.
