Hello Friends,
I found this great way to save money on fresh produce...
Farmers Market Baskets is a co-op service that brings you the benefits of belonging to a fruit and veggie co-op without the work and commitment. Get a basket brimming with fresh, quality, seasonal fruits and veggies year round! If we order at least 10 baskets, they’ll bring it to us for just $3 per basket! Just reply to this e-mail and let me know what you want. You can make checks payable to FMB or pay with cash.
Each week we choose a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables that will provide healthy snacks and nutritious side dishes for your meals as well as recipes to help you use your fresh produce.
Your "basket" of produce will come in a disposable container and you will not need to pay a membership fee at this time.
