WCPSS Serves Fresh Strawberries from NC’s Deans Farm Market
Deans Farm Market, established in 1965 and located in Wilson, NC, supplied WCPSS Child Nutrition Services fresh Farm 2 School strawberries in May. Strawberries are considered a “super food” because in addition to being packed with vitamin C they are rich in antioxidants, are a great source of fiber and manganese, and are low-calorie.
In addition to its strawberry farming operation, Deans’ chef and staff create value added products in its farm kitchen that are sold in its country store and online, and Deans Farm Market also offers agriculture education programs and field trips for those that want to learn about farming and agriculture.
