Tawana Lee browsed bins of freshly picked seasonal produce, including two varieties of kale, winter squash, carrots and green heirloom tomatoes grown by local producers.
She eventually picked up a bottle of Thai basil tea brewed from Halls of Ivy Academy’s Seed 2 Market entrepreneurial program during her recent visit to the newly opened Roxie’s Market.
“Everything’s fresh,” Lee said. “It ain’t been through no process. It’s coming straight out of the ground.”
