We finally have a co-op coming into the valley, well one that I actually know of, let's put it that way. It is: http://bountifulbaskets.org Each basket is $15 and for the first basket you pay a one fee of $3. There is also $1.50 handling fee.
I ordered one basket and I also added on a 25 lb. bag of carrots for $10, which we are chopping up and putting in our freezer. A couple of months ago we found a freezer at a garage sale for $50, very exciting!
They had extra add-on's and I believe they change them so they aren't the same. They offered for an extra $10 5 loaves of bread and them some kind of cake and of course the carrots too.
For my basket of $19.50 (first time basket) I got:
8 peaches, 8 apples, 7 bananas, 4 avocados, a coconut, head of cabbage, head of romaine lettuce, small bag of baby carrots, 2 cucumbers, small container of blackberries, container of strawberries, and 6 tomatoes.
All of the produce is in great condition and not overly ripe, so I will have time to use it all! I can get this every 2 weeks, so I am thinking of ordering 2 baskets every 2 weeks and volunteering sometime, then you get more! Great way to get good produce. To get organic, there is an extra fee.
I know that this is available in Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada and Eastern Washington (sorry family).

We've been loving ours!
So jealous! Ours is so hard to get into that I haven't been able to do it. Evidently it is pretty popular where we live. YAY for co-ops!
I will be ordering that when we arrive.
I totally missed the deadline...next time, I'm right there with ya! :)
Looks fabulous!
And good work on your freezer...we've got to find us one, too.
Oh, that sound interesting. I will definitely have to check them out. Yum...
