Happy New Year!
We love that Bountiful Baskets saves people lots of money, and that’s certainly a large part of our mission! AND… the value extends way beyond that. Are serious about making changes in how you eat? Take a look at these things:
Variety and Selection – We all have our favorites, but science shows that changing it up and getting a full complement of fruits and veggies really helps our health. There are different phytonutrients in each fruit and vegetable and they are each beneficial in their own way! We get local whenever we can, and that reduces our carbon footprint and gets you seasonal produce at its peak.
Timeline and Accessibility – Commitment to eat a basket a week, or one every other week, keeps you on track! It provides incentive to eating whole foods and reducing other not-so-nutritious snacks. If you want to see how much better you can feel, eliminate added sugar and processed foods in favor of fruits and vegetables!
Community and Accountability – Get involved at your site! The friendships and fun will keep you coming back and eating healthy. Having a social aspect to your changes will really help them stick! It’s nice to be part of a group is passionate about produce and can suggest recipes and fun ways to eat the variety you get! |
 Juice Pack
This pack is great for making juices and smoothies! It’s a great option as well as for those who just like some additional veggies and fruits!
Hoping for Oranges, Fresh Ginger, Green Apples, Kale, Beets, Celery, Cucumber, and Lemon.

Soup Pack
We love soup regardless of the weather! You can use this as the basis for stew as well. The possibilities are endless!
Some ideas to get you started: these ingredients make for a great base for split pea soup, zuppa toscana, potato soup, and hearty chicken or beef stew.
Hoping for Fresh Bay Leaves, Thyme, Parsley, Potatoes, Leeks, Mushrooms, Kale, Carrots, and Celery.

Red Beets
Approx 25 Lbs
Crisp, juicy, and sweet! We love them thinly sliced with lemon and chile; roasted and tossed with goat cheese or feta and greens; sprinkled with garlic salt and cumin roasted with sweet potatoes; in soups and stews; and pickled!
|

 Clementines
Approx 20 lbs
These are a great balance of sweet and tart and very juicy! Easy peeling and perfect for lunchboxes and snacks. An easy bump to our Vitamin C intake during cold season! Refrigerate to hold ripeness level.

Pineapple
Approx 8 count
Delicious sliced fresh and in smoothies, add to jams, and bottle chunks! Freezes beautifully for future smoothies or later processing. We make smoothie kits with our favorite fruit and veggie combos for dump, blend, and run mornings! Juice some up with oranges or mango for a super special and delicious breakfast beverage. Have you tried dehydrated pineapple? So easy and delicious! A perfect summer-y, sweet, and healthy snack at home or on the go.
My kids love Virgin Pina Coladas as a special treat, and they’re pros at making them – even my 8yo! Into the blender goes chunks of pineapple, coconut milk, and just a squeeze of lime. Add ice to make it a frozen dessert – No sugar or dairy required!

Spaghetti Squash
Approx 35 Lb
Spaghetti squash is a big hit in our house because … spaghetti! Bake or pop into the microwave for squashflesh that easily separates into long spaghetti noodle-like strands. Top with your favorite pasta sauce (or curry sauce!) for a delicious main or side dish!
