Out to Dinner

** Currently I make my menu plan to include dinners only.  For lunches, we either take leftovers or make sandwiches.  I also usually make enough to have leftovers so I only have to cook every other day. **

Bountiful Baskets

A Facebook friend introduced me to Bountiful Baskets Food Co-Op (BBFC) over a month ago.

"BBFC distributes produce baskets, organic produce baskets, artisan bread and sandwich bread every other week. BBFC is a group of people who work together for mutual benefit. This is a grassroots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Since there are no employees at Bountiful Baskets, we as a group pay rock bottom prices on your food. This also means the co-op would not happen without volunteers. If you are interested in the co-op continuing, please volunteer occasionally. All it takes is a little time, energy and a smile. Volunteer opportunities include helping prepare the baskets, breaking down boxes, assisting with the distribution, and packing up. To help out, simply arrive an hour early dressed and ready to work with water to drink." www.bountifulbaskets.org

I ordered (contributed is what Bountiful Baskets calls it) my first Bountiful Basket in early December.  Here's a pic of what I received:

This is one conventional basket, and the cost is $15.00.  I was VERY pleased with the fresh fruits and veggies I received!  Oh, and you do not know what you will get ahead of time.  There are also several add-ons available ranging from $8.00 on up.  I placed my second order for a basket this week, and I added on a Juice Pack...which will consists of fruits and veggies that can be juiced.

Since this is a non-profit, volunteer organization, they do ask that for every 7-8 times, or as often as you like, you volunteer at your pick up location if you are able.  I'm going to be volunteering at mine tomorrow!

If you're interested in more information about Bountiful Baskets and to see if there's a location in your area, head on over to their website...everything you need to know is there!  I will also be glad to answer any questions you may have.
