Farm To Table Program

The Alvarez Organic Farms Wholesale Program is dedicated to connecting our farm fresh produce to premiere restaurants, CSA's, Grocers and Co-Ops. We began with the idea of taking the worry out of buying from a produce broker and having no idea where your food will come from or how long its been in a warehouse. Buying directly from a farmer means you get the peace of mind, that your food comes from the same place every time and  is picked fresh just for you. By cutting the middleman, we can offer some of the highest quality produce at a reasonable price. At Alvarez Organic Farms, we believe vegetables should be a health benefit, not a health concern, which  is why all our produce is certified Organic. Getting the full flavor out of your recipes is important, a good chef, like a good farmer will tell you "freshness makes all the difference" . We focus on getting the freshest produce to our wholesale customers, don't your customers deserve the same?

Fresh Sheet

The Fresh Sheet is twice weekly email newsletter that displays the upcoming produce we will have available throughout the season. Please head over to our fresh sheet page to sign up and start receiving alerts. It's our way of keeping you connected to what's harvesting in our fields. It gives you an opportunity to plan your recipes before you place an order .  Fresh Sheets are updated frequently. Orders can be placed as soon as your receive a fresh sheet. We encourage orders be placed ahead of time as it allows us to fulfill order in a timely and organized manner

We take great pride in what we grow, that's why we feel like personally delivering our produce to the people that show the same passion for food is the most important step.
