Locavores in the office

Tega Hills Lettuce!

Fresh From the Farms collects goods from local farms and delivers them to homes in Tega Cay and Fort Mill, SC.  These fresh-picked fruits and vegetables are produced and harvested within a thirty-mile radius of Fort Mill, SC.

Locavores—people enjoying locally grown food—can get this produce with free delivery at their homes. Some lucky ones have a local weekly market in Charlotte offices as well.

Once a week during the summer, Fresh From the Farms also brings their local picks to office buildings in the North Carolina/South Carolina border area.

The fresh-picked crops are absolutely wonderful. We had sweet Silver Queen corn for dinner after the group brought their farm market to our building's lobby. I could not resist the green beans and the Tega Hills lettuces. They had huge, beautiful blackberries and blueberries, too.

Pastor Glenn Rogers came to the lobby market looking for local honey, and found one jar left. "I want twenty of these!" he joked.

Fresh From the Farms also offers soft goat cheese and locally made fresh pasta at times. To get a delivery or arrange a market at your business place, contact Wendy and Beth at their website.

It is great to support local people practicing sustainable farming. Also, fresh-picked foods really do taste better than those shipped long distances. The best part is eating them in your delicious dinner.
