It’s Summertime and the Picking is Easy…so Farm. Fresh. Go!

Summer comes just once a year so it’s time to get out there and gather the freshest ingredients for your summer cookouts and menus. Start with a visit to your local farmers’ market, farm stand and pick your own farms. The picking is easy this summer with fresh Virginia Grown produce harvested at their peak of flavor, freshness and nutrition. Plus, you’ll easily fall in love with the farmers who bring these ingredients from the earth to your table. Enjoy the bounty of the summer season and keep up the good work of pledging $10 a week to support local farmers.
