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.

Nothing better than veggies grown in chemicals. Yum.

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.

Go on line and read their story. Interesting and good reason for buying their product.

Probably to lazy to do anything else like take a new photo instead of using a file photo.

they come out on top in best company to work for, pay of employees , family friendly, able to rise through the organization, they also have very clean stores , management that listens to your requests and no I don’t work for Publix and Publix doesn’t work for the evil Morse family either lol

What kind of water is used on these produce during growing? Our irrigation type, or…

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.
