LONG POND, Pa. - NASCAR weekend is now underway at Pocono Raceway. And with many fans planting their roots down there for the whole weekend, a large farm just across the tracks want the people to know there are healthier eating options rolling their way.

"Get back together this weekend and enjoy NASCAR and enjoy camping," Matthew Emerick, a camper, said.

For NASCAR lovers in Pennsylvania, camping at Pocono Raceway is a staple to their souls' diet.

"Having a great time with thousands of other people," camper, John Woodruff, said. "That's what it's all about, camping and racing."

"That's what it's all about," Emerick said.

But what about their actual diet?

"Cooking, cold beer," Woodruff said.

Fans can have a busy itinerary inside the raceway.

"We'll wait for practice to start qualifying for both the truck and XFINITY," Emerick said, "there's places to meet the drivers get some autographs you know, talk to him a little bit."

And many don't know that just across the tracks, sits nearly 400 acres of farm.

"Pocono Organics Farm, which is one of North America's largest regenerative organic certified farms, is right across the street," Jeanine Hofbauer, Director of Marketing at Pocono Organics Farm, said.

Pocono Organics Farm wheels in a produce cart for campers, rolling in healthier options for more racecar cheering power.

"Because it's not so easy," Hofbauer said. "Or maybe some people don't want to leave once they park that trailer or that motorhome, or their campsite set."

So campers, as you're grilling your next burger, why not add a nice, juicy organic steak tomato?

"We're not just an amazing farm," Hofbauer said. "We have some of the greatest humans on Earth right at Pocono Organic Farm. They are dedicated to making sure our soil health is being maintained."

This is the third year the cart's rolled this way. And its popularity keeps on growing.

"No pun intended," Hofbauer said.

The farm hopes to feed the masses, while also feeding their brains with knowledge of healthier foods.

"We like to educate the community," Hofbauer said. "We are loyal to the soil."

Hofbauer says the goal is to fuel folks at the campsites, so they'll have an even more fruitful NASCAR experience.
