First Harvest!

Good morning, Friends!  We are excited to announce our first harvest of the year will be delivered to JTA Foods & Grill this morning.  Due to a late start to the growing season, we suspected that the first harvest would be mid-July, and we were right on target.  Stop by the store at 900 N. Macon Street in Bement for fresh harvested Buttercrunch lettuce!  Following Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), we remove field heat at harvest, triple wash with Fit organic vegetable wash, spin dry lettuce to remove excess water, and pack and refrigerate immediately.  Using GAP allows our produce to have optimum flavor and a longer shelf-life.  And as always, our produce is grown chemical-free ensuring that you receive fresh organically grown produce locally.  Look to our website or Facebook page for more Clean Acres updates.  Harvest season has just begun!
