Has anyone used Bountiful Baskets outside of DC? For $15 every week I could get an entire laundry basket full of amazing fruits and veggies. I have tried Relay Foods locally and for $30 I got a tiny little box, and it is not plentiful year-round. It's not going to fly.

Does anyone know of a food co-op that is less expensive than normal grocery shopping? BB was so cheap because once every 5-6 weeks or so, everyone volunteers for an hour on the pick up day to sort the veggies, instead of paying extra for employees to sort them. Is there something similar in DC?

If you have used BB in the past, would you be interested in starting a new site? I'm unable to champion the cause due to my career, but if anyone is interested, I could help...
