Farm Products: What We Grow

All of our produce is certified organic under standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. What does this mean for you? In short, a high level of transparency and accountability in regard to how we grow our food and a commitment to protecting and restoring our environment.

Our focus here at Sunnyside is to grow the best tasting, healthiest and highest quality food possible. We have been working on minimizing or eliminating entirely the use of plastics, and sprayed fertilizers, pesticides,and fungicides in our growing fields. We emphasize diversity in our product mix, not only because of our desire to offer a wide array of food to our consumers but also because diversity promotes a healthy environment by keeping soil chemistry in balance, regulating insect pests and promoting mutually beneficial relationships between species.  Where we can, we select varieties that emphasize flavor — our heirloom tomatoes being a prime example. None of this is static, of course.  Each year we try to learn new lessons and continue on our journey toward being a more sustainable operation.
