Our Farms
Produce, Seasonal and Regional We pride ourselves in finding the best organic farms and carrying only the highest quality 100% USDA Certified Organic produce and fruit. Of course, depending on your growing season and region, it's not always possible to find everything locally. After all, the most popular fruit of all is the banana, which is only grown commercially in tropical regions. So even though we're confident our portion of local and U.S. grown produce rivals anyone, we still like bananas too. You can find out more about your growing season here and get informed about the local produce you should expect to see in your region. We've also added this little flag next to items grown in the U.S. and with farm information for many items, to make it easy for you. We believe you deserve to know where your food comes from. Have a look at some of our Good Food farms.

My Neighbor Steve's Farm
(Baldwin City, KS)
www.myneighborsteve.com
Our Farm is located just outside of Lawrence, Kansas. The tomatoes, basil and garlic that we grow go into my pasta sauce. Our aim is to provide you with an authentic Italian recipe (one I picked up while living in Florence) that's completely local and organic. The produce goes from the field to the jar, frequently within hours. So there's a fresh quality that's very hard to find in other pasta sauces. This year we are branching out and planting a number of vegetables. We believe strongly in eating food grown locally and we're excited to offer local produce to you.
What do they grow?
Organic Tomatoes and Basil. Pasta Sauce.
