New Produce Co-op Drop Locations

There is a new basket Drop Location near Durango and Lone Mountain. For now they are only offering Conventional at that location, but I would guess it won't be long until they are offering Organic as well.

Produce Basket Co-op

Notes: We do NOT run this co-op, but do participate in it.
Please AFTER YOU HAVE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE and looked over their website

What is it??
Bountiful Baskets is a way to use collective purchasing to get high quality food at prices usually reserved for grocery stores and restaurants. Save money while you work together cooperatively within your community.

Here is an excerpt from their info page
About Bountiful Baskets Co-op
Bountiful Baskets is not a business. It is a group of people who work together for mutual benefit. We are up front and open about how things work. Our policies are as follows:

Bountiful Baskets Food Co-op is constantly growing to reach new areas through a large network of volunteers. We run at least every two weeks at each site. We are completely volunteer-run and make no profit. We have the following distribution sites and look forward to adding other distribution sites as volunteers are trained and ready to open them! Please see our home page for a complete listing of current sites. Cities marked with an * have 100% Organic sites available.

This is a Co-op
This is a grass roots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Without volunteers this co-op wouldn't happen, so you will need to help as you are able. There are many opportunities to participate!
