It’s Spring and Cinco de Mayo! A perfect combination of celebrations. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration created by Mexicans living in America in the late 1800s. Celebrated in America, but not much south of the border, it is in memory of the victory of a small Mexican army over a 3 times as large French colonial force.
Smoothies are an easy way to get a meal on the run. A fast tasty snack loaded with vitamins, minerals, and protein. This is an easy way to “eat” those greens that you may not like but that are good for you.
Bunnies love Carrots, and there’s a reason for that. Carrots are loaded with Vitamin C and make a delicious dessert to satisfy any sweet tooth.

We are approaching the March weather, which means rain, snow, sleet, warm one day, freezing the next and spring sun trying to chase away the winter gloom. You never know! That’s why we’re rooting (Hay Ray!) for those root veggies that give us what we need to get through the weather craziness.
Tomatoes, their red, succulent and the juicy taste you can only get from our Harvest Home Farmer’s Markets. Fresh, locally grown, ripened on the vine, and picked the day before you get them. Full of taste and loaded with nutrition.
Grilling isn’t just for meat. It makes veggies mouthwateringly irresistible! Grab zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, corn on the cob, peppers, onions, carrots, and even cauliflower at a Harvest Home Farmer’s Market. Give veggies an extra taste while you avoid cooking dishes to go with that BBQ-ed meat.
Trying to take care of your skin and hair in the summer heat? Go to your local Harvest Home Farmer’s Market instead of the drug store. Eating the right foods can do more for your skin and hair than most cosmetic products, plus you’ll save money.
