I’ve recently joined a food co-op.
Fresh fruit . . .
Fresh veggies . . . Ooolala!
I hear the juicer calling my name!
Having moved from Southern California, where we could get fresh, fabulous citrus and exotic fruit most people have never heard of, to the midwest, we were all longing for some fruit and veggies.
A food co-op was just the medicine we needed! Being completely volunteer based, we have helped to unload the truck and distribute the “goods”, and what a blast!
It is a bit of a surprise to see what we get each week and so much fun to “cook outside the box” with some interesting items I might not have tried if it weren’t for the co-op.
Be sure to stay tuned as I come up with some menus to make good use of what we get from the co-0p.
Have you ever used a food co-op? What did you think?
Unfortunately most people living in the midwest don’t know what most fruit SHOULD taste like!! I used to go to the food coop in Rapid City, but they didn’t seem have enough business to get much fresh foods.
We’ve been lovin’ this new co-op! I feel like a little kid waiting for my birthday every time an order week comes around
