Bountiful Basket-My first Saturday of a local co-op

Yum, I got this fresh produce for $16.50 from Bountiful Baskets a co-op in Utah on Saturday.
I had to pay a one time fee of $3.00 for my first basket. I am happy with what a got. Go Here for more information Here's some info. from their website. Click on the photo for an enlarged view.

They offer a conventional produce Basket for a $15 Contribution (plus a $1.50 handling fee)

50% fruit, 50% vegetables, 100% healthy, delicious & fun

In the conventional basket we focus our buying as follows: High Quality, Low Cost and As Local as Possible… So, how hard do we try? Pretty hard! Most bananas are from Central America or the Caribbean and are grown by a couple gargantuan conglomerate growers. We get all of our bananas from small farmers in central Mexico. This saves the co-op between $4 and $7 a box, keeps money with small farmers, and helps keep the carbon footprint small.

  1. ...I'm not sure that website address is correct? It sends me to a gift basket company.

    I wish I could find a co-op in our area.
