What better delight than going out into your own yard at the end of the summer and being able to pick a bushel of fruit that you grew yourself? Here are a few additional reasons to grow your own fruit and veggies:
1. Improve your family’s health- Eating more fruits and veggies will help you stay healthy and children that eat homegrown produce are much more likely to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
2. Save money on groceries.
3. Reduce your environmental impact – If you grow your food organically you’ll spare the earth the burden of unnecessary pollution. Also, you will reduce the use of fossil fuels from transporting these items from all over the world.
4. Get outdoor exercise
5. Build a sense of pride from creating your own food.
Come visit the nursery and see our beautiful crop of fruit trees. Our staff can help you choose varieties and also go over how to care for the trees when you bring them home. We have a great selection of Apples, Peaches, Pears, Plums and Cherries as well as a wide selection of fruit bushes such as blueberries.
