🌱 **Farm Myth vs. Fact**
❌ **Myth:** All vegetables from the grocery store are picked ripe.
✅ **Fact:** Many fruits and vegetables are harvested before they're fully ripe so they can survive shipping.
That's one of the joys of buying local—you get produce that's harvested much closer to peak freshness, often within a day or two of making it to your table.
Fresh really does taste different. ❤️
What's one fruit or vegetable that tastes *so much better* fresh from the garden than from the store?
