Inland Empire Working Farms Guide

Hi everyone! 

There’s nothing like buying fresh, organic and locally grown produce. Reality is, buying organic produce from your super market can become pricy.

What if there was a way in which you can lower your grocery expenses and support your local farm all at the same time? Check out our Working Farms Guide for ways in which you can do that and more. There are countless working farms across the IE ready for you to stop by and pick out some naturally grown produce and more.
