Nutritional Superstars - Know What You Are Eating

Fruits and veggies are packed with a star studded array of vitamins and minerals. I admit that this is a bit obvious on the surface.

But if I was to quiz you...could you tell me where your getting what from? Don't feel bad, I too am in this camp.

Thought it might be meaningful to do a quick refresher. Beyond your daily multi-vitamin, our weekly CSA boxes are packed with nutritional goodness. The benefit is amplified from the organic farm fresh approach to how our produce is being grown.
