“Fruits and vegetables are the most nutrient dense foods you can eat.” -Lori Taylor
Lori Taylor was inspired as a young child when she attended a cooking camp as a young child and had the experience of selecting foods to cook. She then worked in corporate America for 10 years and learned how to connect with farmers and growers and market fresh fruits and vegetables. The Produce Moms began there, but it has turned into so much more.
