This is how we do it...

You don’t have to join the Co-op to try it out – Choose the size basket you think you would be most interested in and your first basket can be a Trial Basket. Just fill out the form or call to set it up!

Produce day is always on Wednesday
– the only exceptions are when holidays fall on Wednesdays. I make sure you know if a change will occur in the schedule. Produce is usually sorted and ready for pick-up in my garage by 2:00 pm – sometimes even earlier. Please clip your invoice to your check or cash and place in the black box provided when picking up. I am not responsible for baskets not picked up on time.

Remembering to pick up is your responsibility – If you provide an email address I can send a reminder. And, If your basket is still here the following morning or Friday, you may get a gentle reminder call. But, I can't always be around to call to remind you that it is produce day. Please mark your calendars. There is a calendar on the bulletin board with the dates marked. If you forget a basket, it is still your responsibility to pay for it.

There are dairy and other packaged organic items for sale too – from the refrigerators in the garage, that you pay for when you pick them up. You can also order whole cases of any fruit or vegetable through the co-op.

Pre-Order of certain items – like milk, butter, eggs and yogurt that you get with your basket each produce day.

New members pay a $30 boat bag fee – You will then be given 2 boat bags used to sort and to carry home your produce. Each week you will bring back the bag from the week before and your produce will be in your other bag. They keep rotating like this. If you forget to bring back your bag, don't worry, the next week your produce will just be in a box instead. If you decide to leave the co-op, you keep your boat bags.

Our members are not required to donate time – but if you are interested in sorting 2 to 3 hours for a free basket of produce, even periodically, please let me know.

We offer delivery in Mountain Lakes for $5.00 extra–Delivered items are pre-paid and your basket will be left at your house in an agreed on location after 4:00 pm on Produce Day.
