Rosecrest Produce Co-op

The produce co-op I started in the summer time with 12 ladies every other week has now grown to 50 ladies (with 3 on the on-call list) every week! It's been awesome!

Every week I order different fruits and veggies from the wholesale grocer in my area. They have been great to work with. I make the order on Tuesday morning and they deliver it all to my home early Wednesday morning. I put out the baskets (with Scott's help!) and load up all the food! It's only $16.50 a basket! GREAT deal! It's not a business for me, but I do get my basket for free though! My boys devour all the yummy fruits and (some) of the vegetables that we get!

If you're interested in starting your own, let me know and I'll fill you in on the details!

Produce Co-op

 I started my own produce co-op!! I got GREAT information on how to do this here. It looked like a great thing to do, so you know me, I did it! I asked some cousins and neighborhood friends and gathered 14 of us together. I made the order on Tuesday morning through a local whole sale produce company. They delivered all the produce this morning, right to our door! I purchased small laundry baskets from the Dollar Store and started loading up the baskets.

 I had help from the boys and Scott, THANKS guys! In every basket there were an even amount of produce. All the extras went into an "extras" box for later choosing.

 Look how beautiful these produces are! WOWZA!!

 In each basket everyone received 1 clove of garlic, 1 head of lettuce, 1 cauliflower, 2 broccoli's, 7 bananas, 1 1lb bag of baby carrots, 4 oranges, 8 apples, 11 plums, 15 apricots, and a 5lb bag of potatoes. Also, each gal chose 4 items from the "extra" box. Each person paid $16.50 and we will make an order every two weeks!

Our co-op group is called Rosecrest Co-op! I am thrilled I started one in my area! I already have 4 more ladies who want in!
