Happy Earth Day from The Produce Cart 🌱

Today is a reminder that small choices really do add up. Supporting local food, growing what we can, and making fresh options more accessible all play a part in building a healthier community right here in Butler.

We’re celebrating with our Earth Day Plant Sale this Saturday at CPI Butler 's Artisan Garden Center! 90% of plants are just $2
Vegetables, herbs, and flowers ready for your garden

I’ll also be there with fresh food and baked goods, and many of these items are just the beginning of what I plan to bring to The Produce Cart this season. Cinnamon Rolls, pepperoni rolls, sourdough breads, sweet treats, and grab and go favorites!

Come out, grab some plants, enjoy some good food, and help us grow something meaningful together.

Grow food. Build community. Create change.

🌱 Hi everyone! I’m Gretchen, the new Mobile Market Coordinator for The Produce Cart 🍅
We’re thinking about starting the season earlier this year and want your input. Would you be interested in an earlier start to make it easier for you to get fresh local produce?

Visit Hickory Woods Market located in our office for these beautiful wooden roses. We have ribbons, onions grass, and plastic sleeves. You can order ahead and have us create one for you or to reserve colors or you can also stop by and create your own bouquet for someone special in your life.
