February 9th Pocatello, Idaho basket

This week's basket was 45 minutes late, due to snow, but that just gave us some time to bundle up and prepare to play in the snow when we came home! Here's what we got in our basket this week:

English cucumbers

Cauliflower

Sweet potatoes

Spinach

Tomatoes

Spaghetti squash

Braeburn apples

Mandarin Oranges

Bananas

Asian pears

It's usually a bit smaller during the winter, but the prices are a bit higher for produce. Either way, I'm still paying less than I would if I bought all this in a grocery store.
