Our Growers and makers
We support growers and makers who share our values, pay them a fair price, and stick with them through the seasons.
This includes certified organic and biodynamic farmers, as well as new regenerative growers, urban mushroom entrepreneurs, even keepers of backyard lemon trees – all working together to create a diverse and thriving local food network.
