DELICIOUS: Strawberries that melt in your mouth; crunchy, plum sugar snap peas or juicy plain peas, zesty red radishes and greens, greens, greens, crisp, flat leaf or curly lettuce, kale, Swiss chard and spinach! These REALLY FRESH tastes you have missed all winter.

Strawberries: More vitamin C than an orange! Put them on your cereal, eat them as a snack, serve them as dessert, and add them to salads. Add them in your smoothie.

REALLY FRESH:Our fruits and veggies are grown by local farmers, ripened in the fields and picked the day before they arrive in our Harvest Home Farmer's Markets. (Click here to find one near you) That's really FRESH! Better taste and better nutrition.

Greens, including Spinach and Kale: Great for the start of a salad.  (NOTE: If kale is too bitter for you, try freezing it first.  Add it to smoothies with bananas.  It's a super powerhouse of nutrition.) Strawberries and spinach with pecans, chunks of apples, sugar snap peas and a bit of cheese are delicious with a light balsamic dressing or your favorite dressing.  

FITS A BUDGET: Our farmers accept SNAP, WIC & EBT. PLUS Health Bucks at our markets can increase your SNAP buying power. SNAP users can get 2 extra $$ for every $5 of SNAP dollars!

TIP - Sugar snap peas are tasty dipped in almost anything. OR toss them into stir-fried meals. Cook them lightly in a bit of olive oil and garlic.  Cooking lightly keeps the crunch!
