In my single girl years I always had a garden. Funny thing is, at that time I didn't think much about my grocery bill and lived mostly on fast food. The garden gave me something to do, and I usually just gave all of the goods away. Now that I have a little family of my own I am extremely conscious of the grocery bill and long for the days of plentiful fresh produce. So I should be gardening now, right? But when?
I'd like to introduce you to a brilliant group that caters to those in my predicament. It's called Your Neighborhood Produce, and it's basically a co-op that splits the cost of fruits and veggies at wholesale prices. There are several "basket options" you can purchase, such as small or large, fruit only, and soon you'll even be able to buy baskets containing only locally grown produce. Prices range from $8.50 to $26.50 and are delivered to assigned pick up locations on a weekly basis.
I'm short on time this evening, because I have to watch my Heels destroy Duke (couldn't resist), so I'll let the website itself explain the details. For those of you in the Charlotte (NC/SC) area I think this is a great deal to consider. I also want to encourage those of you who are not in my area to check out the site. If you don't have a group like this in your area, consider starting one!
*If anyone is interested in starting a business of this kind for your "neighborhood", let me know. I have some other details that may be a help to you.*
