I have had many, MANY, people around me talking about this program, but why didn't I try it sooner? Cause I'm silly like that! But wowzers! I"m going to keep up with it!
Bountiful Baskets is a co-op group. You log on, on your assigned day, order your basket for $15, $25 for organic, and then pick it up on Saturday. There is always 6 fruit items, 6 vegetable items, but you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes they have extra stuff to purchase when available like bread, bulk produce, and what not, the what not being I really don't know a whole lot, this was my first time. lol.
When I ordered, the website said 7:30 pick up, my confirmation email said 7:00, so to be better safe then sorry(they won't wait for you or deliver, you don't show it is donated to the local fire station) I arrived early to either volunteer and help get the baskets ready for pick up, or get there just in time to pick it up. I was early. Which I'm glad I was. I enjoyed volunteering. I even got extra produce for doing so.
So, when you order your first basket there is a $3 extra fee. I ordered 3 baskets for the first time so for $55, I got:
22 bananas
3 heads of romaine
36 Brussels sprouts
28 limes
22 tomatoes
27 peaches
12 butternut squash
3- 3 lb bags of apples
5 bags of mini carrots
2 mini seedless watermelon
17 mangoes
22 ears of corn
