Back to the Market This Summer!

Summer in Virginia brings a wide variety of delicious, local produce like corn, tomatoes, squash, green beans, eggplant, peaches, berries and okra to supermarkets and farmers markets. These fruits and vegetables may be more affordable as they are grown closer to home and may taste better as they're picked at their ripest.
