Da Produce

Da Eplegaarden--farm direct-- advantages.

 

·       low farm prices

·       fun and enjoyment (real live experience)                            

·       different - we're slow, old fashioned

·       close "buy local"

·       total information on your food

·       local Fitchburg and Dane County grower (know your source)

·       environmental concern (We live on our own soil, breath our air, and drink our own water. They better be safe and permanent!)

·       Virtual reality?  We’re not!    We are reality!
