#50: Join A Co-Op (Friday, December 14)

I'm a bit of a germaphobe and as such, I'm really passionate about the food I put into my body. Add to that the fact that my dad is a farmer (which has made me accustomed to good, fresh food) and you have someone who is almost maniacal about their food.

The Idea: Join a local food co-op. Not only is it a great way to ensure you are getting good quality foods, you are also helping to sustain local farmers AND you'll know where your food is coming from.

The Cost: Membership fees and in some cases, your time.

The Benefit: Healthier food, healthier you, and the opportunity to help support local businesses.

Testimonial: I'm looking into a couple in my neighborhood now and hope to join one for next year.
