This summer, Holden Beach vacationers (and locals) can preorder bags of locally-grown produce to be ready for local pickup every Saturday.<\/p>\n
The program, known as “Vacation Vittles,” is a ambitious, state-sponsored partnership with NC State University, local farmers, vacation rental agencies, and local businesses.<\/p>\n
Vacation rental agencies will be promoting the program to renters ahead of their scheduled rental dates.<\/p>\n
Renters and locals will be able to preorder and purchase their produce for each summer week via the program’s website.<\/p>\n
Vacation Vittles produce bag will be filled with a variety of fruits and vegetables picked at the peak of freshness by local farmers.<\/p>\n
Each bag will contain enough fresh produce to feed a family of four at least three servings of fruit and vegetables for the week and be $45 a bag. Price includes credit card transaction and service fees.<\/p>\n
Bags will be delivered and be ready for pickup at Beach Mart<\/a>, a family owned, local business conveniently located on the Holden Beach Causeway.<\/p>\n The program will be run from the week starting June 8th until the week ending August 31st.<\/p>\n To preorder your produce:<\/p>\n
