The Produce

The Co-op is now receiving produce from a supplier based in Pennisylvania. All the produce is grown within The United States, if it can be grown here (bananas and periodic tropicals cannot), and we purchase the more locally grown produce over that from further away, ie the citrus comes from Florida before California. The quality of the produce is a matter of pride, and our prices are below supermarket prices for comparable items.

From Thanksgiving to mid-June the produce is grown within the United States and as locally as possible. As the growing seasons change, so do our sources. Periodically, we get items like bananas, mangos, or pineapples which cannot be grown within US borders.

From mid-June through Thanksgiving most of our fruits and vegetables are grown in New Jersey, Pennisylvania, and New York States. As the growing seasons change, so do our sources.
