Moving To Montana

Bountiful Baskets come to Laurel, Montana!

May 14, 2011 by mamakay 2 Comments

One of the big adjustments I had to make moving to Montana was the lack of good produce much less a good price after I was so spoiled in Arizona between Bountiful Baskets & the Sprouts Farmer’s Market.  Much to my suprise I found out 2 weeks ago that Bountiful Baskets has come all the way to Laurel! What a wonderful blessing!

I went a bit overboard since I was so excited this week but here’s what I ordered.

  • 2 organic baskets
  • case of organic Roma tomatoes (which I shared with a friend)
  • herb pack (which I also shared with a friend)
  • Mexican pack
  • Tortilla Pack
  • case of blackberries

I got all of this for about $100!

Each organic basket included:

  • a head of broccoli
  • a pineapple
  • 2 giant mangoes
  • fennel
  • 4 golden beets
  • 6 oranges
  • 3 green peppers
  • bunch of green onions
  • 3 romaine hearts
  • small honey dew melon
  • pound of baby carrots
  • 2 lb bag of Fuji apples
  • 4 Roma tomatoes

Mexican Pack

  • bunch of cilantro
  • 9 tomatillos
  • 10 limes
  • 4 jalapenos
  • 6 green chilis
  • 4 avocados
  • 2 onions
  • head of garlic

Herb Pack (1 baggie of each)

  • basil
  • chives
  • rosemary
  • tarragon
  • sage
  • mint
  • marjoram
  • parsley
  • head of garlic

I see homemade salsa in our future as well as pickled golden beets and maybe some blackberry jam if I hurry!

After years of talking and dreaming about it we are moving to Montana next week. I can hardly believe it! Yes, we know it is cold there but we can’t wait! We are looking forward to getting out of the city, enjoying the country life, being close to my grandparents and having seasons! We are going to miss our friends and family here in AZ but we are ready for a new start. We are anxious to see what God has in store for us.
