Sally Stevens and Tanya Jolly started Bountiful Baskets in May of 2006. It was a winning combination from the beginning. Tanya and Sally both had experience organizing bulk produce purchases in their neighborhoods that were not web based. As word spread, it challenged them to think of a way to keep up as more families wanted to participate in order to save money on healthy food. Adding a little bit of e-commerce technology to the mix was just the trick. Since May of 2006, Bountiful Baskets has grown from 2 sites and an average of 120 families a cycle participating, to hundreds of sites in 16 states and countless participating families! In April of 2011 Bountiful Baskets started to offer 100% organic baskets every week.
