Bountiful Baskets in December of 2011

For $15 we received 2 heads of butter lettuce, 2 orange carrots, 3 yellow carrots, 3 oroblanco grapefruit hybrids, 1 personal size watermelon, 6 corn, 1 bag red seedless grapes, 1 5-lb. bag butter gold potatoes, 1 bunch celery, 3 avocados, 5 small pears, and 6 bananas. We got an extra carrot and an extra lettuce (included in the picture and the count) for being volunteers and helping to unload the truck and sort the food into baskets.
We also bought the hostess pack for an additional $15 which contained 1 10-lb bag russet potatoes, 3 lemons, 1 bunch rosemary, 1 bunch cilantro, 2 parsnips, some chestnuts, 1 bunch romaine lettuce, 1 small pineapple, 2 yellow onions, 11 tangelos, 6 small sweet potatoes, and 1 bunch sage. In addition, we also paid $10 for a winter squash pack (not pictured) with 3 butternut, a turban, 2 acorn and 1 spaghetti squash.

Once every month or two seems to be good spacing between orders and gives us adequate time to consume most of the items we've received in our basket. I have to say, I was quite pleased and surprised with the variety in the hostess pack-that's one we'll look for in the future.
