Fresh and Flavorful Produce
Everybody in our organization from our farmers to our customer representatives will tell you that our priority is to always provide our clients with fresh and flavorful produce.
We make every attempt to harvest our produce on the day of delivery, guaranteeing that our produce hasn’t been on the shelf for longer than 7 days at the most.
All the products we deliver are guaranteed fresh and flavorful, always.
