Harvest Grove is a children's story series inspired by the colorful compounds found in everyday fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Each story follows a young fairy character on a magical adventure in the whimsical town of Harvest Grove.
While the stories are first and foremost fun, imaginative tales for children, each character is inspired by a real phytonutrient-a naturally occurring compound found in foods. These compounds have been studied for their potential health benefits and are the inspiration behind each character's unique gift.
Created by clinical nutritionist Frances Blewitt, CL.N. and her team, the Harvest Grove series was designed to spark curiosity, encourage imagination, and introduce children to the wonderful world of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices in a natural and engaging way.
Children can simply enjoy the stories and adventures, while parents and caregivers can explore the "Note to Grown-Ups" section included with each book to learn more about the real foods and phytonutrients that inspired the characters.
These aren't nutrition lessons disguised as stories. They're magical adventures inspired by nature, written by a clinical nutritionist who believes learning can begin with wonder.
