Pete’s Greens
Pete’s Greens was a very exciting stop on our adventure because we get a lot of our beautiful local produce from Pete’s. It was wonderful to see the new barn they are building to replace the barn that burnt down last year.
It has been lovely to hear about all of the support the local communities have given to one of wonderful local farmers! Pete’s Green’s is back in full swing and we saw rows of beautiful mesclun, spinach, tomatoes, kale, beets, and much more. Come into Healthy Living and get some Pete’s Greens produce today, and check out our New Pete’s Greens Healthy Living Potatoes!
