Bountiful Basket #2

I have only purchased 2 Bountiful Baskets They are only available in my area every 2 weeks and last week we decided not to purchase one. We are throwing out a ton of food really. Reason #1 cause it is just too much for only 2 of us. reason #2 there is some stuff we just won't eat.
For our second week this is what we received:
2 heads romaine lettuce
1 watermelon
6 plums
7 peaches
1 brocliflower
2 English cucumbers
1 bag Yukon gold taters
1 back black seedless grapes
bananas
2 tomatoes
6 ears corn
and a pineapple

Of the things we did eat, they were great! Again though, I wish they did local.

Bountiful Baskets

My sister inspired me to try and get produce from some where other than the grocery store. There are no farmer's markets locally. I have no idea why since I live out in farm land. I did find Bountiful Baskets. I think what they have for the price is awesome! I was disappointed that there weren't more local items, if any, but they still taste great. Here is what we got in our first basket.
7 ears corn
6 oranges
7 nectarines (that are awesome)
bananas - which normally I don't like but these have great taste
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 pint blue berries
1 cantaloupe, 3 yellow squash1 bunch white asparagus
1 head romaine lettuce
1 bag green grapes
and Brussel sprouts (something I have no idea what to do with)
I had to get up at 6:30 am on a Saturday to make it to the next town over, 20 min away to pick up my basket but it was worth it.
