You can save BIG on produce and no trip to the grocery store. Save time and money. Produce is purchased from the same vendors as restaurants and grocery stores and then organized into baskets for easy pickup at a fraction the cost. Simply go to bountifulbaskets.org . Ordering is Monday-Tuesday online. There are several pickup sites throughout Utah. Pickup is the following Saturday at the designated time listed with each site. Some pickup sites are available weekly and others bi-weekly. The produce in your basket will change according to season, area, and availability. The first time we ordered our basket contained:
3 Bundles Asparagus
In other orderings we have received: mangoes, green onions, cauliflower, zucchini, ect. It seems the basics like lettuce and apples are always included.
Other products can be purchased at the same time with your basket (must buy a basket for extras) such as: 9 Grain bread, 5 loafs for $10 (way Yummy); 2 lbs granola for $10; 10 lbs strawberries for $8; specials for holidays. These extra items also rotate.
The co-op is completely volunteer based, thus there are no refunds and the pickup window is only 20 minutes. If you don't show up your basket is donated to the local fire department.
Can't imagine eating all of it or concerned that you will get something you don't like? Go in on a basket with someone and split it. Don't like something, share.. you save so much being charitable is easy. We order with our neighbors or give what we don't use to my cousins.
TIPS: Order as soon as possible; there are only so many spaces available per site and they go quick. Show up early; the lines get long fast. Bring a sturdy basket to pickup your produce in.
