Farmer's Market Time!

The LeTourneau Advancement Office "Wellness Challenge" is coming to a close - we will post our winner on Friday. In honor of the past three months when we have tried to be better to ourselves, this post will focus on green, leafy and berry-liscous stuff.

If you are lacking in space or time (or both), you can still get the joy of indulging in fresh veggies and fruits grown right here in East Texas! (I will focus on East Texas but would love to hear about opportunities in your area...if we get a good nationwide list, I will post that too!)

Here are some local farmers - visit them or the local farmer's market. This helps you meet your veggie and fruit needs while also supporting the local economy!
