🌱👨‍🌾 From Harvest to Market — Tasty Tuesdays favorite Theo’s Harvest posted this incredible behind-the-scenes video detailing the process of harvesting produce and taking it to market. This (along with a lot of planning and hard work) is how fresh, locally grown food makes its way from the farm to your table!

Theo’s Harvest is a one acre vegetable farm located right here in New Port Richey. It is owned and operated by Tanner Johnson, who, when he's not busy growing produce, leads Walk & Talk tours of his farm and teaches classes at the Library on Eating Local Produce. Learn more at theosharvest.com.

Remember to stop by the Library for Tasty Tuesdays every Tuesday from 9am-12pm (summer hours) and check out what Tanner and our other vendors have for sale. See you there!
