Things just taste better when they are fresh from the garden.  There is absolutely nothing that compares with the taste of a home-grown tomato. What’s not to savor about that sweet-tart flavor as the juices drip down your chin?  Combine with fresh-picked peppers for a salsa that sings summertime!

Enjoy the season’s freshest ingredients with a trip to a farmer’s market.  Not only will you connect with the community, you’ll enjoy purchasing nutritious, delicious, locally grown fruits and vegetables.
