In this farm-to-consumer co-op program, members head to pick-up points around town every other week to receive a bin filled with 30 pounds of fresh, seasonal produce ($50 for a 30-lb full share; $30 for a 15-lb half-share. At sign-up, there is also a $50/year membership fee and a one-time $14 bin fee for the containers that your produce is delivered in.) At this point, 500 families have gotten on the bandwagon; it’s easy with distribution points in Oak Cliff, McKinney, Irving, Addison, the Park Cities, White Rock, and Uptown. Don’t forget to stop by Urban Acres market and restaurant in Oak Cliff.
