ZKC Our Fruit and Veggie are locally Grown
Why We Choose To Go Local
Locally grown foods are full of flavor. When grown locally, crops are picked at their peak of ripeness rather than being harvested early in order to be shipped and distributed long distances to your local retail store. This may also mean that farmers can grow varieties that are selected for flavor instead of durability! Many times, produce at local markets has been picked within 24 hours of your purchase.
Local food has more nutrients. Local food has a shorter time between harvest and your table, and therefore it is less likely that the nutrient value has decreased. Although calories, amino acids and fats are stable over time, vitamins contained in food can breakdown over time when food is stored.
