  1. Hi there,
    what size tote do you order from SLO veg?
    This looks absolutely yummy, and I thought of ordering from them, just wasn't sure about the amount you get.
    Enjoy reading your recipes here!
    Thanks,
    Conny

    1. Hi Conny. Thanks for asking. We started with a large box every other week. Then we decided to go to a medium box every week and that has been perfect for my husband and my son and I. Sometimes I have just enough, say, green beans for us, other times I get a lot of something like squash and carrots and can make a larger portion for company dinners and stuff. What I find, though, is that I still need to pick up onions and potatoes from the store, because those are staples we always use. We have been getting some nice onions the last two weeks, however. Its just nice to have a good variety and supplement here and there when we have too. Also, if I get too much one week, I have been freezing it. I also made and froze pesto from the basil, so none went to waste!
