From our local food co-op. I bought some veggies today to make salads.

The lettuce from the coop goes really fast.

It is such a blessing to live in farm country where there are so many local growers. All the local produce is organic.

In the future I will present more information on Community Crops as my husband is a member.

There are banners above the produce of some of the local farms. I photographed a few today. As you can see a lot of these farms use greenhouses in the winter.

There are some products shipped in such as these jalapenos from Mexico.

And these organic Ruby Red grapefruits from my home state of Texas. In case you have never tasted one of this variety they are sweet and tangy.

Here is a bonus for you and a a first for me.

It is called Malk, that's right pecan milk. I found it very tasty.

Fabulous @rebeccabe! I wish we had greengrocers like that here. Oh, but wait, we almost do, but not nearly so pretty and you have to look hard for the organic stuff. Luckily we have some villagers who, likeus, grow their own. Your snow photo makes me realise how lucky we are to be able to grow things virtually all year round.

I know I am kind of ready to get back to the green grass. lol

I am sure!

Pecan milk... I don't think I've ever seen that before
I wonder if it is nice :D
Thank you for sharing @rebeccabe :D

It was a 1st for me and it was tasty. creamy .. yummy

My girlfriend's parents live in Hastings. Crazy weather you all are having. Stay warm.

yes, that is not far from here...

@roselifecoach and I just did our grocery just now, stocked plenty of vegetables and fruits for the next whole week!

now you can have fun and take photos of them too!

Rose chopped it all before I can snap any photo... :(

The photo of the snow looks crazy! I am so glad we haven't received much in the way of wintery weather except the cold. I do look forward for the Farmer's Market starting up in March. I do miss all the fresh local veggies.
Ren

That's true March is not far out there either. The Farmer's Market is cheaper too.

We actually lived within a block of where it occured and I just loved going. Now to find the one that is nearby. It's actually only 25 minutes away so I could probably drive in.

Fresh veggies, lovely.
Love shopping for fresh food, therapeutic to the soul.

yes so beautiful.... I wish I had mentioned that.

yum yum :-)

well said lol

Looks really fresh and healthy!

Yummy colourful goodness!

thanks!

thanks!

It's Tuesday here, in the afternoon 😂 have a good one. Haha

I posted this Monday just before midnight about 30 minutes ago. So wonderful to see someone in the future reading this. haha!

I never stay up this late.. but I think it is worth it.

We got all the time on the internet. By the time you wake up, I think I will be at home drafting my post "this evening" 🤣

Posted using Partiko Android

I am. About 14 hours ahead I believe. My aunt stays in California, and she's about 15 hours before me 😂

where are you?

Malaysia. You are cute. Lemme smash that follow button for you ☺️

thanks!

To have local farmers and organic produce nearby is just but a dream for me right now... all our produce is shipped in and there are only a few but costly organic choices... by the time anything gets here, the shelf life does not appear to be long from my experience.

I already drink plant based milks, so the pecan choice rather appeals to me!

Thanks for sharing 😌

thanks for your lovely comment too!

Look at those shiny fresh veggies as though they are saying "Consume Me, best decision!" love how your construct your post.

Hope you win! 😉😊👍

thank you I hope so too.

Wow, what a fantastic co-op market! I love that they share information about the local farmers, as well. They really are the key to bringing us fresh, local produce. We have a similar market here, but they don't have near as much produce for sale. It is my go-to place for dried goods, though!

One small request, for valid entries we require there to be no animal products so if you would like to be eligible for the prizes would you mind omitting the eggs? I know it is a bit strict, but I want to uphold Lena's guidelines! Other than that everything looks fantastic and I'm so glad you shared this with us! Thank you and congrats on being the rally upvote of the day!

@plantstoplanks what eggs, LOL done.
Thanks for letting me know I definitely want to be eligible for prizes.

Haha, awesome! Thanks! :)

No problem. :)

Your co-op store looks absolutely wonderful Rebecca. All the fruits and veggies look so fresh. It's wonderful to be able to buy produce from local farms. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Yes.. this particular coop has been around I think 40 years.
Thanks for your comment. :)

Oh man it is posts like these that make me miss my summer garden. Organic veggies are the best.

Awesome Monday entry!

Oh I know it is so fun to go in the garden and water and baby it and then to harvest. So much bounty up from Mother Earth.

I just sent in my money this week for this season's CSA share. My local farmers do the most fabulous job of raising locally grown organic veggies and I can't wait for the season to start.

Hey there... I know I am so ready for the green to come back outside. The snow is beautiful but dangerous to drive at times.

It is beautiful, but enough is enough! It's time to move on. We have done this long enough!

agreed lol

Oh I love their farmer's coop! It's wonderful to have so many organic farmers with all that local, fresh produce! Lucky You!

One of the wonders of living in America's heartland. thanks for your great comment

That's a nice looking produce section!

oh yes.. hey there :)

Looks amazing. I wish our area here was more into doing a co-op. We had the Bountiful Baskets for a while. Problem was no one would volunteer to help. We have a Field to Fork farm which you do have to work 1 day a week to participate.

Yes, we have community crops that are like what you are describing.

This store is supplied by small working farms. They make money from the store. It is a full-time deal for them. Thanks for adding to the conversation. Where are you located?

I love your photos !
When I go to the local grocery which sells lots of vegetables, I tend to buy more than I can eat. Just the sight of having greens in the house makes me feel better

That is true.. I have a list nowadays.

what a lovely place to spend time withthe cold weather out there, all those fresh organic fruits and veggies looked so nice and amazing too. so, what do you get for your salad then?

Lately, my husband wants green salads. Before I was giving him everything I could think of in his salad. lol

So nice to meet you. Thank you for the upvote and resteem :)

What a wonderful array of healthy, organic vegetables @rebeccabe I haven't had a grapefruit for a while but I do remember the last time I ate a blood grapefruit. My taste buds are dancing just thinking about it. 😄
