Celebrating the Garden’s Fall Harvest with Our Community
The community garden recently gathered and donated a variety of fall vegetables to support local residents. Harvests included sweetpotatoes, collards, lettuce, spinach, arugula, and carrots. These fresh, seasonal vegetables were shared with the Pitt County Council on Aging to help nourish older adults in our community.
Donating locally grown produce supports healthier meals by providing fresh, nutrient-rich foods that are often more flavorful and accessible than store-bought options. These contributions also strengthen community connections, showing how shared harvests can help meet local needs and promote well-being. Through this effort, residents experience the benefits of fresh foods grown and shared close to home.
