This was our first year to join a vegetable coop based on recommendations of coworkers.
We had the option for 3 or 6 month, prepay, cash option. We signed up for the 3 months, and after one week of the freshest, most delicious assortment of vegetables, herbs, and salad fixins from Homestead, we are reeady to sign up for another 3 months.
From November thru May I pick up a box (1/2 order is about $27 a week) and that is plenty for 2 of us. I wait til Karen gets home and it’s like Christmas once a week. We unpack our box to see what we will be cooking with this week. We even bought a dehydrator for the herbs. Karen loves to cook and experiment with new recipes and we both enjoy eating healthy, so this is perfect for our household. Now its like we own a piece of the farm and have gone to veggie heaven!!! It’s a great way to support the local economy!!!
I believe you can join for the last 3 months that starts mid February. The contact info is: phone # (Mon., Wed., Fri. only) @786-243-1714. Email contact is alllocallygrownproduce@live.com (teenaspride)
PS. The heirloom tomatoes are to unbelievable. I didn’t even know God made purple tomatoes!!
