I joined a food co-op that consists of mainly of produce. You can also order breads, nuts, oils, and teas. We just got our first basket this week. I was amazed at how much we got for only $15!! Peaches, Nectarines, bananas, plums, strawberries, oranges, big green leaf lettuce, celery, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, radishes, whole onions and carrots. Every two weeks you can place an order to be picked up on Saturday. The next delivery date is Sat. Aug. 2nd.
You would need to place your order before Wed. July 30. I would highly recommend doing this. My girlfriend kept telling me about it, I can't believe it took me so long to join. First time orders are $17 to pay for the baskets they put your food in each time. You bring bags to take your produce home in. The website below also has great information on produce storage. There was alot about storing produce I was not aware of.

They also send out 5-10 recipes to use with the items you received in your basket. I tried these two and they turned out great!!
