First Co-op Purchase

Last week, I discovered that Orlando has a food co-op. Apparently, it's been in existence for almost two years, but I had given up looking several years ago. I placed my order online Tuesday from this week's selection. To make it easy, they have three basket sizes that you can order as a "Season's Selection." Small will feed a household of 1-2, Medium 2-4 and Large 4-6. You can also manually select your food from the available items. I picked the small basket for $20 as a test. In addition, I bought a one pound bag of French green lentils, since I've seen several recipes I wanted to try and Publix didn't seem to carry them.
Picking up this afternoon was very simple. I chose to pick up from their downtown location. They also have two other locations. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with the quantity and variety of produce I picked up. A bundle of multi-colored kale, lettuce, two small cucumbers, five tangerines, an onion, two apples, a grapefruit, two oranges and a carton of cherry tomatoes. The produce should last at least a week and I'll post more later and the quality of the food.
You can order from their website at homegrowncoop.org. Also, for an additonal charge, they will do home delivery.
