Fresh fruits and vegetables
We gladly accept fresh fruits and vegetables from your garden. We distribute the produce through our Food Mart. Last summer, 250 families per week visited the market. We really cannot have too much fresh produce. During our annual client survey, fresh produce is always one of the most requested items.
