Bountiful Baskets

This is what we got in our bountiful basket this morning18 Minneolas
1 Head Leaf Lettuce
1 Head Cabbage
2 Cartons of Blueberries
1 Carton Strawberries
7 zuchini
6 cucumbers
10 bananas
6 pears
2 bunches of asparagus
2 bunches of spinach
8 apples
The best part is we only paid $15 for all this plus a $1.50 handling charge, which there is no way you could walk in a grocery store and get all that for that price.
I am pretty excited about this program it is kind of new to St. George but we already have 4 sites. What you do is you go online to http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/ on Monday at 12:00 noon and sign up for a basket make sure you do it at 12:00 because last week all 150 baskets for the site I went to were gone within an hour. The first time you sign up you have to pay a $3 basket fee.
This is a good way to get your family eating more fruits and vegetables and also to try new things because you never know what you might find in your basket from week to week. Also you don't have to get one every week you can decided when and how often you get them.

IF you ever miss your order cut off you should try greenbeeproduce.com they offer something similiar but its weekly, they gaurentee the produce and a portion of your box sale goes back to the site as a donation. So far our school has raised a ton of money off it, plus the produce has been great everyt time...
