Tritons love Farm 2 U fresh and local produce !!!

Wow! Who'd-a-thunk-it........that people love easy access to fresh and local produce. : )

Honestly students are consistently making it out to the farmer's market that now travels to dining halls all over campus. Every Wednesday Tritons!

Today the place to be was Roger's Place and Market.
Look at this beautiful fruit!
There was an awesome mix of colorful carrots. I sampled one of the purple ones to find it was surprisingly sweet. Yes there are samples people!I had to get some avocados again because they were so creamy last time. Yum.
That's broccoli at the end of the table.
The white carrots were not as flavorful as I'd hoped, but they were really good with some fesh salsa that I got in Roger's. No joke. They make a great substitute for chips! They're crunchy, so I challenge you to try it. : )
The fresh lettuce was impressively beautiful.....and yes, I'm raving about lettuce. It's at a whole other level when it's organic.
They had bags of fresh greens that could easily make a few salads. The Produce Patch hooked students up with free samples of Naked juice too. Other samples included chocolate, coffee, and yummy protein bars.
Jess and I both went crazy for the organic apples, mainly because of their size. If this apple was directly in front of her face, it would take up most of it!
The natural size variety of the apples was noticable, which differs from the carbon copies of fruit you get at the chain supermarkets.
Right at 3:30, when the market starts, there was a line of happy customers forming to purchase their goods.

Jess was checking out the locally cut flowers. Some of which I actually bought for my boyfriend for Valentine's day. : )
HEADS UP: Next Wed. Feb 17th, Farm 2 U will be on the patio at Cafe V (3:30-6:30pm)!!

THEY ACCEPT DINING DOLLARS!! IT'S A WIN-WIN GUYS!

live in love
