Healthy Tip: Buy a Bountiful Basket!!

Often it’s small changes made one at a time that add up to a lifestyle shift! 
A great tip to start eating more healthy is to purchase a Bountiful Basket every week! 

Bountiful Baskets is a non-profit food co-op for families that want to have more fresh produce for less money. The contribution is $15.00 for a Conventional Basket, plus $1.50 processing fee.  Description: Roughly 50% fruit, 50% vegetables, and 100% healthy, fun and delicious!  I also like to buy their 9 grain bread occasionally, which is $12.00 for five loaves!!

Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op is a group of people who work together for mutual benefit. This is a grassroots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Since there are no employees at Bountiful Baskets, we as a group pay rock bottom prices on your food. This also means the co-op would not happen without volunteers. All it takes is a little time, energy and a smile. Volunteer opportunities include helping prepare the baskets, breaking down boxes, assisting with the distribution, and packing up. 

Reasons to be a BB participant: 
Fantastic value!!
Someone else does your shopping.
Produce hasn’t been handled by a bunch of people in the grocery store.
Produce is fresher than what the grocery store sells.
You get a great variety of food every week!
You have fun trying new items you would not normally buy.
Volunteers get a free workout!
You feel like it’s Christmas every Saturday morning!
