Inland Empire Organic Produce Buying Club

The Inland Empire Organic Produce Buying Club is a group of people living in and around Redlands, CA, and Cherry Valley, CA; we pool our money to make a big group purchase of fresh, certified organic produce from an organic wholesaler, and when possible, local, organic farms. Then we divide the produce evenly amongst the participants. Everyone goes home with a big basket containing a variety of fresh, organic fruits and veggies, for a fraction of what we would pay in supermarkets. Produce shares must be prepaid, this allows us to buy exactly the right amount of produce for each purchase, and helps keep our costs a low as possible.

The IEOPBC is completely volunteer based. We do not make a profit. All money collected is used exclusively for produce and expenses.

We aren't just about saving money. The IEOPBC is about building community, supporting local, organic farmers, and educating families about health and nutrition.

We have two fabulous locations:
One in Redlands, CA at Farm Artisan Foods restaurant, located downtown on State Street. http://www.farmartisanfoods.com/

The second location is in Cherry Valley at Highland Springs Resort/Grand Oak Steakhouse. http://hsresort.com

"Hi Mary, Hopefully if you have internet access, the best way is to do web search. For example, type in "fennel recipes" and see what comes up. Also, you are welcome to pull aside any of the volunteers and ask them...."
