Bountiful Baskets in the Athens Area

Bountiful Baskets Food Co-Op distributes produce baskets, organic produce baskets, artisan bread and sandwich bread every other week. It is a group of people who work together for mutual benefit - a grassroots, all volunteer, no contracts, no catch co-operative. Since there are no employees at Bountiful Baskets, the prices for food are super low!

Currently, the Athens site operates every other week. Contributions are made on Mondays and Tuesday at www.bountifulbaskets.org and then the baskets are picked up on Saturday mornings at the Goodwill parking lot behind Rafferty's on Atlanta Highway.

One of the most common questions is "what is in a basket". Some people like to say that it is like a produce Christmas morning because you never know what is going to be in the basket until you pick it up. Generally, there are four to five different fruits and four to five different vegetables. Bountiful Baskets often has delicious items that you can add on to your contribution. From Sourdough bread to lunch box packs, you can easily feed your family fresh foods and stay within your budget.
