Excerpt:

“This is just another way for us to educate the community as to where their food is coming from and trying to provide them with clean produce,” Joel Lichosik said.

They grow about 60 different vegetables from asparagus to arugula to peppers and so much more. Much of that food only travels a couple of miles to the final destination, compared to big box stores that may transport food from California or Florida. The brothers sell to Cafe Corazón, Seven Swans Crêperie, and Kuumba Juice and Coffee.

“I’ve tasted it and it’s amazing, and it lasts so much longer than anything else that I buy,” Jamie said.
