Bountiful Baskets

Has anyone heard of this? I feel I have to share it because it's just so great! I found out about a month ago and just barely remembered to do it. Go to this website. It is 100% volunteer run and so you get super cheap produce! It also comes from as local as possible and from smaller farmers. Awesome! You can get this basket I got for 15$ or you can go organic for 25$. Every week the produce changes so you don't know exactly what you're getting(it's always this large amount), but I kinda like that! This week the basket had:
2 coconuts
2 larger cucumbers
2 summer squash
3 avocado
2 large oranges
6 bananas
11 tomatos
2 bags baby carrots
romaine lettuce
bag of apples
bag of small peaches
1 small thing of black berries
Good deal? I'd say so! However, it's only in these states; WA, ID, AZ, UT, WY, TX, NV. If you live here check it out! Most states seem to have a lot of pick up locations so you probably have one close to you! Ordering is done online at the beginning of the week and then you pick up Saturday. Happy shopping!

PS. I've heard about Terra Organics too. No idea any details, but if BB doesn't work for you maybe this one will. =)

One of my other friends just told me about this a month or so ago, I had looked into trying it out but hadn't done it. It looks like a lot of food for the price! I will definitely have to try it out! :D

We just heard about this from a local friend. BB isn't in W. ID yet, but we are thinking about starting it up here with some other people.
