Partners In Produce
Neighbor to Neighbor recognizes the importance of fresh produce in a healthy diet. We are thankful for the many local farms, gardens, and farmers markets that donate regularly to our food pantry. We strive to provide a majority of fresh produce to our households. The travel time from harvest to our households is often just a matter of hours which allows the fruit and vegetables to remain dense with nutrients.The benefits of introducing children to a diet inclusive of local, seasonal, organic produce are many. The superior taste of fresh fruit and veg can influence a lifetime of healthy eating habits.
