We all know eating fresh fruits and vegetables is healthy for you, but did you know that eating locally grown produce is even better? The closer foods are grown, the fresher they are, which means they will taste better and be more nutritious. Buying local also means you are supporting area businesses and building community.
Residents of Cadbury at Cherry Hill, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Cherry Hill, N.J., now have the opportunity to enjoy locally-grown, fresh fruits and vegetables right at their dining table. The community, through a wholesale vendor, is buying its produce from Hunter’s Farm Market in Cinnaminson, N.J., and the residents couldn’t be happier.
