The SuperMarket vs. The Local FarmMarket

Did You Know...

• Supermarket produce travels thousands of miles and can sit in a warehouse for several days before it sits again on the supermarket shelves waiting for you to buy it? These varieties may survive the travel, but they tend to loose nutritional value on the way, and don’t necessarily taste good.

• Supermarket produce is usually treated with chemicals so it can last long enough and look good enough for you to want to buy it?

• Many children don’t know where food comes from.

Did You Know at the Robert Treat Farm...



• Produce is fresh, often picked hours before its out for sale—for sweet corn each hour makes a difference.

• The only travel our veggies make is from our fields, to your car, and then to your kitchen. Now that’s one way to lessen a carbon “footprint”.

• We stand behind what we grow and we are always happy to talk with you about varieties, preparation, and preservation.

• The plants we sell at our Farm Market are the same we plant in our fields. This yields the produce you will receive in your RTF Membership Basket.

• Our Farm Market has been open for more than 60 years, and our farm has been in operation since Milford was founded in 1639.
