EARLY
Strawberries
Grown in Lancaster, PA
Our buyers seek out unique opportunities to find the best-tasting produce, and that's the case with local Strawberries. Each week, our team makes the trip to Lancaster County, where a variety of growers in the area come to sell their produce.
By tasting each lot, our buyers can select the best that week. Right now, the Ruby June strawberry is dominating, but varieties change quickly. Regardless of the variety, these strawberries are quite unique from their California counterparts. Smaller in size, the local fruits are deeper red, with a candy-like, almost syrupy sweetness that builds as you eat them.
The local strawberries benefited from a slower start to the season, thanks to cooler temperatures throughout May. The slower growth breeds more complexity, as the berries have more time to spend on the plant, allowing them to develop sugars. Worth noting: at these markets, flavor is currency. Strawberries, tomatoes, asparagus, and other produce can look beautiful, but if they don’t have good flavor, they will be priced lower. The buyers know, and they act accordingly.
PEAK
Sugar Snap Peas
Grown by David in Thermal, CA
Sugar Snap Peas are in good supply, available in both green and purple varieties. Now, at the height of their season, these are incredibly tender. Each part of the pea offers complexity — the inner peas are plump, while the outer shells are vegetal and crisp. The holistic bite is sweet, with a floral note that rounds out.
We started the season in Lompoc, where cool, coastal temperatures create the ideal growing environment for the delicate Snap Peas. The peak of Chris’s season was cut short, however, as heavy rain and wind took out most of his plants, and we shifted inland. In the next weeks, we’ll look for local, as temperatures in California become too warm and the peas become starchy.
LATE
White Asparagus
Grown by Frédéric in Loire, France
Only two more weeks remain for Frédéric's White Asparagus. Soon, the spear stage of the plants will transition into the fern stage. This happens once the ground gets warm, ,and the plant wants to go to flower to photosynthesize and build up energy for the winter dormancy and the next growing season in 10 months.
Early-season white asparagus is prized for its ultra-tender texture and milder, more delicate flavor. By contrast, late-season spears grow faster in warmer soil, resulting in a slightly thicker, more fibrous stalk with a bolder, occasionally more bitter, undertone.
It's a combination of the exceptional growing conditions in the Loire Valley and Frédéric's commitment to organic growing methods that take his White Asparagus to new heights. It's unusual for an asparagus grower to reject all chemical inputs, practice crop rotation, and leave time between crops — up to 25 years in Frédéric's case — for natural soil restoration. For Frédéric, this is a crucial part of providing a dense nutrient base for his plants that will continue to deliver year after year.

We exist to fix the food system.
People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavor, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
