Discover Fresh

Our produce doesn’t come from a freezer or a big corporation. It’s harvested fresh from the earth from family farmers like Broccoli Bob Campbell and Charles Muranaka. Trusted growers who are our friends, our partners, our heroes. The more you discover them, the more you’ll discover fresh.

FLAVOR FIESTA

When our garlic and lime juice joins cilantro and jalapeño, life gets spicy.

Fresh limes are squeezed at Perricone farms. Our California garlic is like, mellow. Grown by The Garlic Company on the sunny west coast, our garlic has a savory, laidback flavor. Our cilantro from Muranaka farms is picked at the height of freshness and taste. Whether it’s one of our hand-tossed salads, fresh-baked focaccia or made-from-scratch soups, it’s not just a meal. It’s a party.

BEFORE YOU GROW MUSHROOMS,

YOU HAVE TO CREATE SOIL.

The fresher that we can get it them, the more flavor it has to it. The flavor profile changes distinctly from the time you pick it to the time it’s eaten.

LEEKS

It all starts with the seed. Just like the early bird, Charles Muranaka gets the best Leek seeds first, and gets them all, so Muranaka Leeks are exclusive.

GMO-free. At the peak of ripeness, 150 expert pickers harvest by hand to reduce damage and ensure maximum freshness. The Leeks are rushed from the field to our kitchen in just hours. That’s Muranaka fresh.
