My friend, and registered dietician, @kimzeender invited me to join the #haveaplant challenge to include one more serving of fruits & veggies a day in September.

Practice with me at the farm this Monday at 4pm & you can pick up your own. They have yellow ones, too, that are sweet & delicious alongside the traditional reds.
