Veggie TALES!




I joined a produce co op called Become-eco and WOW did we hit local pay dirt! For 35 bucks, you get enough veggies mostly ALL locally grown and picked within the last 2 days. Those strawberries were picked YESTERDAY. Lots of variety with a few "unique" items, with included descriptions and instructions on how to use/cook. No commitment and pay only ahead only one week. Can order anytime I run out, weekly, bi-weekly whatever!
This is just their "sample" basket. They bring what is in season locally. I will customize it closer to what we need. But this time will enjoy some new items like a "Pummelo" that big grapefruit looking thing. It is a biblical fruit though I have never heard of it and tastes much like an orange. There was SO MUCH in this basket I can see with a few tweaks that it will serve us well! They were wonderful people to boot, it is a brand new business for them.
What I can remember:
Watermelon
Green/Red Apples
flat of strawberries
Carrots
Two HUGE heads romaine lettuce
HUGE cabbage
Avocado
red/green peppers
radishes
bag of tomatoes
bag of cherry tomatoes
Jicama
Bag of potatoes
turnips
beets
corn on the cob (5 ears)
zucchini
yellow squash
cucumbers
green beans
2 eggplants
that white flower squash thingy called Patty Pan squash
