Whatever Wednesday: Fresh Produce


Maybe this is more like a tip, but either way I love this! I'm one of those people who loves to garden, but lives in an apartment where the only growing done is in small containers. Not exactly ideal for peas, strawberries, apples, etc.
So I found this great company called Click-2-Pick Produce which is a cooperative of family and small farms across California, Nevada, Utah and a few other states. Since they work together, you get super fresh produce at roadstand prices which can be up to 40% off what you'd pay at the grocery store.
They have small baskets if you have 2-3 people in your family, or larger baskets for 4-5 member families. I've gotten grapefruit, avacados, tomatoes, strawberries, baby zuccini, broccoli and even beets. The beets were new to me, but that's another great thing. You get to try new things you might not have bought yourself.

So check it out, they've got pick up spots across several states and you don't have to committ to a plan or anything.
