Our growing standard

We don’t just claim it — we’re certified.

Our desire is to provide you with the healthiest food possible. We don’t just claim to use organic practices, we have gone the extra mile and become a USDA Certified Organic Farm. We have also went above and beyond and got Real Organic Project verified.

None of our produce is coated with food-grade wax or resin or any other kind of preservatives to maintain freshness. We believe farm to table produce should be natural and does not need added coatings.

We specialize in peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and eggplants — and we offer farm fresh seasonal produce nearly year around.
