Ah, summer — the season where farm-fresh veggies not only make your plates look gorgeous (and very Instagrammable), but also make for healthy eating that feels more like a treat; less like a chore.

Zucchini, yellow squash, and bell peppers are the veggies catching our eye in the Publix produce aisle this season.

Publix sources these summer gems from local farms like 5 Brothers Produce. Get to know the farmer (and don’t miss the yum recipes):

🫑 5 Brothers Produce

Nearly 40 years in the making, the family-run farm in Homestead, FL grows their produce in carefully maintained fields free from genetically modified ingredients. What started as a desire to provide the local community with home-grown, seed-to-crop produce grew into a thriving Florida farm run by Thomas “Tommy” Torbert and his four sons.
