Homegrown Produce Boosts Fruit and Veggie Intake

Want to help your child eat more fruits and veggies? More than 1,500 parents of young children were asked about their family’s fruit and vegetable intake in the past week. Kids who often ate homegrown produce ate about one more serving of fruit and veggies per day than those who rarely or never ate homegrown produce. No space or time for a home garden? School and community gardens and farmer’s markets are good options, too.
