We grow our fruit conventionally, but we use pesticides as an absolute last resort, in circumstances when the crop is at stake. We believe in prevention as our first-line defense against insects. We use pheromone mating disruption, which prevents insects from finding one another and producing young. We also use physical control methods including insect trapping, perimeter borders, mowing, and tree limb mulching.

90% of chemicals ingested are actually applied to your produce during the packing process, after it has left the farm. Because we pick only ripe produce and ship it right away, we don’t apply any additional chemicals to your fruit and veggies.

We grow nearly all of the produce we sell. We round out our offerings by sourcing popular items like berries from local farms. We only sell produce grown by farmers that we personally know and trust.

As you probably know, nature doesn’t produce perfection. We don’t believe in wasting perfectly edible produce just because it doesn’t meet an arbitrary beauty standard. We do believe in harvesting at peak ripeness and delivering it to you within 72 hours. As a result, you’ll get some produce with bruises and blemishes, and some that’s a little riper than the rest. That’s all a part of nature! And here’s the thing: it might not be the most beautiful, but take a taste and you’ll love it as much as we do.

Fresh produce, especially fruit, does degrade quickly once it’s removed from life-giving leaves and roots. If you can’t eat your produce within a week or so, there are plenty of ways to preserve it for enjoying later on! Visit our pages on preserving the harvest and recipes for lots of tips and ideas!

We’re only required to charge tax on produce we didn’t grow ourselves. By eliminating layers of middlemen, and sharing produce that is beautifully ripe but isn’t picture-perfect, we can charge our customers less. You win and the earth wins when we don’t waste food.
