Fresh Produce

Summer screams fresh produce. What can be better than grilled veggies on a pizza? Fresh tomato salsa? Corn on the cob? Stuffed bell peppers? Crisp green beans? Refreshing cucumbers in a salad? Is your mouth watering yet? YES! 

No, our garden hasn't sprung up in abundance overnight, we checked out Market on the Move. Never heard of it? Read below.

Our Loot: 46lb of string beans, yellow squash, zucchini, bell peppers, sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

For those of you residing in Arizona, have you heard of Market on the Move? Market On The Move provides a farmers’ market atmosphere at various locations throughout Metro Phoenix and Tucson areas where partners and supporters of this program can come on a regular basis to pick up the free produce for distribution.
