The Community CO-OP of Utah

This is the food co-op we get food from every month. I know some of you wanted the info so here it is. First, here is the web address www.foodco-op.org. The food comes from here in Utah and its amazing how much you get for paying so little. You know in advance the kind of meat you are getting but not the fruits and veggies. We have been buying this food for about a year and have been impressed with what we have gotten. You only get it once a month and you have to go pick it during certain times on the last Saturday of the month (usually). You need to pay a one time membership fee of $5 and then you can order every month fee free. The best part about it is that once your order the standard share, you can add more onto your order. With food prices going up it is so nice to be able to buy groceries for such a small amount!

For instance I paid $26.75 and here is what I got...

1 loaf of wheat bread
1 bag of lentils
1 lb groudn beef
4 pork chops
4 chicken breasts
4 beef steaks
3 apples
4 peaches
4 plums
1 eggplant
3 corn
2 avacodos
1 bunch of radishes
1 bag of carrots
5 Colosimo's brauts
1 package of bacon

Wow, this is awesome! Thanks Les for posting all the info about this. We are totally going to join. Have you ever volunteered before? I kind of feel guilty if I don't.
