Organic Produce Co-op


My friend organized a organic produce co-op earlier this year and it has been great for our family. I do go a little overboard sometimes, like a kid in a candy store. I placed my order this week and picked up my goodies this morning.

12 Avocados




6lbs Cucumbers




5lbs Zucchini




25 Gala Apples




4.5lbs Red Grapes




3lbs Strawberries




5lbs Bananas




5 bunches of Broccoli




5 Red Rudy Grapefruit




3lbs Green Grapes




10 Pears




1lb Spinach




1lb Spring Mix

The Lab results are in.....

My blood work results came back this week. My hemoglobin went from 7.2 to 9.2 with 2 iron infusions. I have had two more infusions and will be re-checked later this month. This is still low but heading in the right direction!
I believe with more leafy greens and some other iron rich foods this will continue to go up. I have had several people recommend liquid Floradix Iron for maintaining my healthy iron levels. I hope it works for me, because I really want to stop the mega strength iron pills I am on and give my digestive system a break!
