First, we identify the region where the best version of a fruit is grown. Then, we seek out the best farms growing the best fruit. We spend considerable time in that fruit growing region learning as much as we can about how the fruit is grown and the challenges growers encounter. Next, we meet, speak, and visit with numerous growers that we feel could be potential partners. We evaluate everything about the farms, from growing practices to how workers/pickers are treated. And of course, the quality of what they are producing!
Once we've been able to do that, we select our partner farm and bring their best crops directly to our customers.
