Also, I was made aware of a couple of services I thought might be of interest.

The Community Food Co-op of Utah
This service is open and available to anyone and the more people that join, the cheaper the food is.

"For a very reasonable price (usually less than $30), one buys a share, then your share gives you 5-6 lb of meat 5 lb of fruit, 5 lb of veggies, fresh baked bread, pasta or rice. Definitely worth more than $30 retail of food!"

"How does the co-op afford this? Simply individuals volunteer time and use local resources to maintain high quality products to feed the largest number possible."

Community Supported Agriculture

"This is an AWESOME idea! An individual “subscribes” to a farm by giving a set $ amount to the farmer in the spring when the farmer needs resources the most. Then, when harvest begins, usually first of July, the subscriber receives a weekly bounty of fresh fruits and veggies, usually for 13 to 15 weeks. Costs and variety of harvest vary by farm. See http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ for participating farm locations, pricing and details."
