Want weekly fresh produce? Join the Bountiful Baskets Co-op!
It's that time again! Local produce markets and co-ops are filling with fresh fruits and vegetables to feed your family. Last year, we mentioned four reasons you should shop local produce. We also shared the 2012 "dirty dozen" list, and what produce is best to buy organic. They are great posts to check out as you begin shopping seasonally this spring and summer.
