Free fruit for kids at PCC
Kids ages 12 and under enjoy a free serving of a fruit or vegetable every time they visit PCC.
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 these items a try; they'll be eating (and enjoying) a rainbow of produce in no time!
