Farm fresh food has more vitamins and minerals than food that is stored, then sold in supermarkets. Those nutritional benefits boost the health and well being of you and your family. Additionally, you’re able to develop a relationship with the farmer who grows your food, while you and your family or organization can learn more about how food is grown. Exposure to new types of food, and preparation or preservation techniques can be invaluable experiences for both children and adults.
At Greenville Farms, you have the opportunity to experience all of this with our Community Supported Agriculture; U-Pick Program. For only $500 per year, you have the choice of either a pre-picked selection of the freshest produce available, or the option of picking fruits, vegetables, flowers or herbs here at Greenville Farms. The advantage of receiving your food directly from the farm, means you’re eating the finest quality and freshest produce and free range eggs available.
Just think of it, instead of eating supermarket produce that has been waiting in warehouses and preserved by chemicals or plastics, you could have fresher and nutritionally superior food picked for you. In fact, if you’re the picky type, why not pick nature’s perfect food yourself?
