For Earth Month, we want you to meet
some of the people who interact with and are the best stewards of the
land—our farmers!
Meet Nick Stridsberg from San Gabriel Ranch! If you’ve had any of the citrus
we’ve had in stock lately, it likely came from Nick’s farm. A
multi-generational family owned farm, San Gabriel now grows more
unusual fruits like mangoes and passionfruit as well as a fun mix of
citrus—pomelos, Cara Cara oranges, grapefruits, minneolas—and
more.
We interviewed Nick to learn why he
loves what he does—click the image or button below for a clip of the
conversation!

Equal Exchange Exclusive Coffee |
|
Want to know a perk of being part of a
community owned market (co-op)? We have exclusive access to some
really good coffee!
In the bulk coffee section, we have
special featured beans from Equal Exhange's Organic BioRevolution
Coffee! With a fully cooperative supply chain, Equal Exchange is a
worker-owned company that partners intentionally with small-scale
farmer co-ops to grow and process the coffee.
Buying bags of
their beans also supports environmental restoration efforts. For every
pound sold, 50 cents is directed to farmer-led projects focused on
soil health and long-term resilience. These include developing living
biofertilizers using native microorganisms, improving soil fertility
without synthetic inputs, and experimenting with practices like
beekeeping to support pollination and biodiversity.
So grab yourself some beans you can be
proud to turn into a delicious cup o' Jo!
