Delicious Snacks From JR Organics

Big Tree Little Preschool belongs to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture.) We pick up a box of fresh-picked fruit and vegetables twice a month from JR Organics Farm. The kids get introduced to new vegetables and fruits. They are always excited to try something new! We had fresh melon and green beans from the farm this week and the kids gobbled it all up!
