Saturday morning, we wrangled the entire family to a pick up location less than 5 minutes away from our house. It was a windy morning in Las Vegas and I was regretting not wearing a thicker sweater but I waited less than 5 minutes to get my goodies.

My first Bountiful Baskets!

I heard about bountiful baskets from my friend Brandi and I'm so excited to share!

Their website is www.bountifulbaskets.org. It's a co-op that's volunteered ran which focuses on attaining produce (fruits/vegetables) as close to local as possible thus making the carbon footprint eco-friendly in comparison to those produce we get in our grocery stores. You don't know know what produce you will be receiving but it's usually what's currently in season.

For a first timer, you add $4.50 ($3 for first timer and $1.50 processing fee) on top of the regular price of $15. After your first basket, you pay $16.50 and you pay for whichever week's basket you want. The website has schedules and locations for pickup in the midwest part of the country.
