Why use the picture of Publix with EMS and a fire truck out front?

I would rather buy them from a local Mom & Pop shop who need the business and not support The Villages family conglomerate

We love the The Villages Grown produce, especially the lettuce. We've also missed the mobile units but it makes it easier to buy at Publix.

I love their stuff, my favorite thing of the “villages conglomerate”.
I took a tour last year of their facilities (which I highly recommend it’s very informative) and their biggest goal is trying to change food in hospitals, they also provided food all over the state during the pandemic when other distributors were unable. One cup of their micro greens equals a bushel of broccoli in nutrients, that’s impressive!
I’m happy to see VG in my local Publix.

I have been very pleased with the fresh T.V. produce I have purchased recently. Puts the other brands to shame.

Great! The vegetables will be fresher that way. There is an even better advantage.......the produce will NOT have to involve long-range delivery by large trucks. This will reduce energy usage and help our mother - mother earth! It is the classic win / win situation.
