Fresh Fruits and Vegtables

For the last three months we have been getting a share of food from the co-op. https://foodco-op.net. It is a really cool program where you buy in for a a share or two or however many shares of food you want. The program is for anyone who EATS! The cost for one share is 23 dollars. It is available all year long. This month the share is below. The normal share is about 4 kinds of meat, 5 vegtables, 4 fruits, a loaf of bread, and some kind of grain. It really helps with grocery costs and it is local produce and meat when available. We love it. I try to make at least 4-5 meals out of the share. We havent gotten two shares yet because I am afraid some of the fruits and vegtables might not last long enough for us to use them. All of the meat is frozen when you pick it up. Our pick up is here in Tooele at St. Barnabas Church the last Saturday of the month. They have locations for pic-up along the Wasatch front from Ogden to Nephi and also one in Park City. Check it out!!!!
