For quite a few years I was involved in a fruit and veggie co-op, for a good year we even had it at my house. I REALLY miss it! A friend of mine is jump starting it again and I am really excited! If you live in The Woodlands area, or can pick up from the Woodlands area on Friday’s you are welcome to come and try it out!
We are going to start this Friday! This is how it works:
- The cost is $20.
- We will be doing every OTHER Friday. So about 2 x a month.
- You will need to help sort at least 1 time a month ** see bottom for more info.
- Your $ is due the week before so we know how much we have to order. It is best to just leave your check on the previous Friday when you pick up.
The baskets will contain the basics for salad making ( lettuce, tomato) plus always apples and bananas. Then we choose fruits and veggies that we can get a good deal on that week. There should be about 6 veggies and 6 fruits each time. We base the basket contents on what is in season, high quality, good value. The grocery store value of each basket is about $35.
This is not a business, it is all volunteer. We just want a good deal on our fruit and veggies, and when you buy in bulk at cost it is a good way to save! There is no contract or anything, it is week by week. So if you are out of town just skip a week. If you want to try it, jump in and give it a shot!
You will need 2 cheap laundry baskets from Walmart like the ones above. One to leave to be filled, and one to leave for next time when you pick yours up.
** Sorting- We do not have an exact time for our delivery yet. But when we do, we need about 5 people each time to help sort the items into the basket when they arrive. If you help once a month we should be in good shape. If you work and are not able to help sort you can still be included, just let me know.
If you would like in on this weeks order email me! Your basket and payment will need to be at Lanna’s by Wednesday to be included. (I will give you the info and address etc. in the email!) mylitter@mac.com
We are keeping the group to about 15 so we can manage it!

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.

I read that there are 6 fruits and 6vegetables each time. do you mean 6 different types of fruit and vegetables? or a total of 6 pieces of fruit and 6 pieces of vegetables?
6 different many of each! 6 pieces wouldn’t be a very good deal!
Hi! I just got back in town and googled looking for a coop. Surprise. I may be too late for this shipment but would appreciate more info when you get this started – are you topped out for number of people? I live in the Woodlands and can help. Thanks, jan
*homeschooler* LOL

Are the fruit and veggies organic? I’ve been wanting to do this for years in Conroe, if you have enough people I would be willing to coordinated for our area.
Hi no they are not organic at this time. There are a few around here though that do organic only. The cost is quite a bit more.
I would like to try it out. count me in too !
Thanks

I would like to do this. I work on Fridays, but I am off between 4:30 and 5:00 usually.
I’d love to do this. We used to do this within the Woodlands we shopped at Caninos. I live in Cochran’s Crossing.
