9 grain bread update: We will be giving that bakery 2 weeks off for them to sort through some packaging issues. They moved from bread trays to boxes, but the boxes were not fitting properly on a pallet and it was making things tip over in the trucks and smashing the bread, so they need to try something different. It has caused a lot of chaos for 2 weeks, so it was necessary to take a break, but rest assured, it will be back. This week there is a very small offering of 9grain as a test run of their new packaging. Hopefully we'll have a successful outcome!
Conventional Basket
50% Fruit, 50% Vegetables and 100% healthy, delicious & fun
In the conventional basket we focus our buying as follows: High Quality, Low Cost and As Local as Possible… So, how hard do we try? Pretty hard! Most bananas are from Central America or the Caribbean and are grown by a couple gargantuan conglomerate growers. We get all of our bananas from small farmers in central Mexico. This saves the co-op between $4 and $7 a box, keeps money with small farmers, and helps keep the carbon footprint small.
LIMITED QUANTITY - 100% Certified Organic Basket – Together We are Changing the World One Dinner Table at a Time
All spoken for - LIMITED QUANTITY - Blackberries – twelve 6-ounce clamshells from Mexico - Blackberry pie & preserves bring back memories of Summer's at my Grandma's picking blackberries by the creek. More often than not we wouldn't bring back enough for a whole pie. Our stained fingers and mouths were evidence of where they had all gone! You can certainly get enough blackberries to make some canning worth it with this though. Instead of the regular cap of 5 cases we raised it to 8! Enjoy! Make some fun memories of your own!
All spoken for - LIMITED QUANTITY - Fruit Lovers Pack - Tropical Theme - One of our favorite packs with endless possibilities! We're hoping for 2 vanilla beans, pineapple, mango, lime, coconut, kiwi, fresh mint. Just the vanilla beans alone are amazing! Making your own extract, vanilla sugar, including the scrapings in home made whipped cream to eat over your strawberry shortcake! My favorite ingredient for smoothies is pineapple. It gives the smoothie a very creamy feeling even when it's just pineapple ice and some water. With this pack I'll add raw coconut to my smoot hies, and of course the kids will not let me forget to make macaroons!
LIMITED QUANTITY - Veggie Lovers Pack - Fresh Herbs Theme - Add extra veggies to your basket! A pack of fresh herbs to brighten any meal. We never know exactly what until closer to keep the items fresh, but often garlic, basil, oregano, rosemary, parsley, chives, cilantro, dill, mint, sage, taragon, thyme.
​​LIMITED QUANTITY - Raw Honey (Utah only) - Approx. 12 Lbs in glass jar from Utah and Idaho. Delicious! For more general information on Raw Honey, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey.
Bountiful Baskets Granola - This is a lightly sweet nutty mix. We love the dates and pineapple counterbalanced with all the seeds and nuts!
Ingredients - Oats, Honey, canola oil, roasted & salted cashews, dates, diced pineapple, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, sliced almonds, and almond & vanilla flavor.
Sourdough Bread - This bread makes an amazing slice of garlic bread! Just amazing toasted and dipped in soup or for sandwiches. It is tangy and crusty and nom nom nom!
Ingredients: Unbleached Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Rye Flour, water, starter, salt
Banana Bread & Cinnamon Toast Bread Combo - These breads are both amazing. I especially love the cinnamon toast bread made into a breakfast casserole, or french toast! Cinnamon Bread - 1 small loaf loaded with goodies for french toast or regular toast. Ingredients: Flour, whole eggs, butter, water, granulated sugar, brown sugar, canola oil, yeast, cinnamon, salt.
Banana Bread - 1 loaf
- Bananas, flour, sugar, buttermilk, canola oil, whole eggs, baking soda, salt
