Free fruit for kids at PCC
Kids ages 12 and under enjoy a free serving of a fruit or vegetable while their parents shop.
Just let the PCC produce staff know what your child would like to try and we'll be happy to wash and/or cut the item of your choice. Each month/season, we'll be highlighting a different fruit and vegetable as the Kid Picks seasonal feature. Encourage your children to give it a try and we'll have them eating (and enjoying) a rainbow of produce in no time!
