There is a new produce co-op in our area. It's been SO FUN to be a part of. Basically, you donate $15 to the pool, they purchase produce in bulk and then split it up between everyone. It's such a great deal - you end up getting somewhere around $50 worth of produce in the end. It runs twice a month in our area. Today was pick-up day. I actually got a few extra things this week. I split an extra "Hostess" pack with my sister-in-law, so the final cost was $20. This is what I got:
It included:
a head of Romaine lettuce
a huge bag of salad
broccoli
cauliflower
2 avacados
21 red potatoes
1 onion
a bag of green beans
4 carrots
half a box of grape tomatoes
4 yams
a butternut squash
6 oranges
6 chestnuts
9 corn on the cob
3 mangoes
9 apples
1 catalope
6 bananas
8 kiwis
YUM!!! My fridge is so full right now! I'm excited to use everything. If you're interested in more info, you can go to their website HERE. You can't order or see anything until the Tuesday and Wednesday before pick-up day. The next pick up is on January 2. I highly recommend it. The produce is excellent quality - the exact same stuff that you can buy in a store. And, I love having all the nutritious food for snacks.
Kiwis! You could make fruit pizza.
