At Verve Senior Living, our dedication to providing the freshest and highest-quality produce for our residents goes beyond the kitchen. It extends to the very fields where our ingredients are grown. Recently, our team had the unique opportunity to journey to Salinas Valley, California—often referred to as “The Salad Bowl of the World”—to witness firsthand the origins of the produce that graces our tables.
Sponsored by our trusted partners—Gordon Foods, Silver Group SGP Purchasing Partner Network, and Fresh Start Foods—we joined Markon First Crop on a tour of local farms. This experience allowed us to connect directly with the farmers who work tirelessly to cultivate the fruits and vegetables that contribute to our residents’ well-being. When not purchasing local products due to conditions and season, Markon First Crop is a trusted choice.
Throughout our visit, we were warmly welcomed by local farmers who shared their personal stories and highlighted the strong, enduring partnerships they’ve built with Markon. These relationships are rooted in mutual trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Our partnership with Markon First Crop is a cornerstone of our culinary promise—ensuring that every meal served in our residences is crafted with ingredients that are not only fresh but also nurtured with care. This commitment to quality and freshness is at the heart of our mission to provide nourishing experiences that support the health and well-being of those we serve.
We’re excited to share this journey with you through our latest video, where you can see for yourself the dedication and passion that go into bringing the best produce to our communities. It’s more than just food; it’s our promise to deliver the very best to our residents.
