I like locally grown produce—that is, fruits and vegetables. This is especially the case when certain ones are in season. My favorites are blueberries and yellow squash.

There is a great thing in the triangle called "THE PRODUCE BOX" they deliver to different places in the triangle even some locations of employement. Each week you can get a box of locally grown produce/fruits even some specialty things from around NC. this is helpful for me since I never get a chance to go to the farmers market.

CHECK IT OUT!!!

Thanks for your suggestion, Purples. We actually use the Produce Box here at BCBSNC – a great way to support our local farmers and promote a healthy diet as well!

Farmers bring local produce to the City's head start preschool for the children and their families to take home with them. It's really great, since many kids don't have fresh foods.

I did not know that there is more than one color of beets (the traditional red, but blue ones and purple too) until I shopped at a Farmer's Tailgate Market. I love them. That's one of the great things about these markets. You can find new varieties of fruits and vegetables that you already like.
