Locally grown food are those produced by local farmers and local plant growers.
They are usually sold in farmers’ markets, a physical retail place where these locally grown foods are sold to consumers by the farmers themselves.
We sell directly to consumers with less transport, less handling, less refrigeration, and less time in storage so that our produce goes directly to your table in its freshest state.
You can enjoy our produce in a better variety and in a healthier and fresher condition.
