I would like to encourage all you lovely sisters to participate in our produce co-op. Our ward along with the South Mountain ward go every other week and pick up produce at Kodiak Produce. This week I was able to be the "one" to go, and even though we only had 7 ladies participate we still got a great deal on some good fruits & veggies! I forgot to take a picture, (as I know some of you are very visual-I will get one next time!!) but here is a list of what we got!! (as far as I can remember at least)
16 Fuji apples
12 Bartlett pears
4 limes
3 heads of green leafy leattuce
3 lbs of grape tomatoes -yes that is 3 LBS-that alone would cost you $9 at the grocery store!
1 cucumber
3 bags of baby carrots
4 small butternut squash
& about 15 Naval oranges (if you are reading this and wondering why you didnt get oranges in your box, its because I paid for the oranges, but they didnt load them-so we will get them in a couple weeks!!)
I figure that is about $30 worth of groceries, so for $15 that is a steal. If you are thinking what the heck would I do with all those fruits and veggies, then remember this, you are supposed to be eating something like 3-4 servings of both fruits & veggies every day.
Anyway I could go on and on, but at least give the co-op a try!! If you are not already on the list, then just send me an e-mail, if you want more info please ask!! Have a great week and remember to eat your veggies!!

Deirdre - I signed up to be part of the co-op, but didn't hear any more information after that. When do you collect money and what do we have to do to get the food?

Why didn't you get a partridge in a pear tree.
