I wanted to let everyone know about the produce coop that is available. There is currently not a group in Highland but there are groups in Wood River, Maryville, FAirview Heights, Shiloh, and Waterloo. The groups are run by volunteers that helps everyone pool their money together to purchase the produce in bulk. The produce is a great quality! The cost for a basket/box of produce is 23.00. This is a mixture of fruits/vegetables. The groups are always looking for more people so that they can get a bigger variety. Plus the more groups the cheaper it is for everyone w/ delivery. I know there are some people from Highland already driving to participate in the coop. Many of us that do it find it a great resource to feed our families a healthy meal on a budget.
You can contact the coop for information on to find a group communityhelpings@yahoo.com If anyone is interested in starting a group in the Highland area I would be glad to walk you through the process.
