🍑🌽 Fresh, local, and organic is beautiful—but it still needs to be washed.
Many people assume organic produce is ready to eat straight from the garden or farmers market. The truth is that fresh fruits and vegetables can carry soil, bacteria, insects, parasite eggs, and natural residues from the field to your kitchen.
That’s why proper washing is an important part of food safety—whether your produce comes from a grocery store, a local farm, or your own backyard.
I have put together a series of guides showing the best ways to clean the fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops commonly grown right here in the Grand Valley. 🍒🍇🥬🥕🍅
A few extra minutes of washing can help protect your family while preserving the freshness and flavor of our incredible local harvest.
