Passion Fruit
Grown by Nick in Carpinteria, California
Passion Fruit is in. Nick has reported that fruit is abundant on the vines and expects a strong season ahead. At this stage, the sizing and appearance have been looking great. His Passion Fruit has dark purple skins with no wrinkling, and it's entirely ready to eat, with a balance of sugars and acidity. As wrinkles develop, the acidity will fade, and the intensity of sugars will deepen. Continuous waves of harvest mean they should be with us. It will be around until February.
Nick grows his fruit on vines with zero inputs and harvests daily during the season. Nick lets the plants tell him when to harvest; he spreads hay beneath the vines, and as each one ripens, it naturally drops to the soft hay. At the height of the Passionfruit harvest, he gathers the mature fruit in the morning and afternoon. This helps reduce loss to sunburn, which can render the fruit unusable.
PEAK
Fairytale Eggplant
Grown by Maria in Hudson, New York and Amy in Milton, New York.
Find outstanding quality in local Fairytale Eggplant right now. Ours are coming directly from two New York growers: Amy and Maria. They are exceptionally tender and sweet, with no traces of bitterness, in stark contrast to the most widely available eggplants, which are bulked up by overwatering, resulting in flavorless, bitter flesh.
LATE
Sweet Corn
Grown by Jake in Kinderhook, New York
Make the most of Jake's Sweet Corn. Thanks to his succession planting, its quality peaks at the very last moment of the season and remains incredibly sweet until the first frost. Jake also does an outstanding job picking the ears once they are ripe, so the quality is consistent right through to the end.
The soil in the Hudson Valley – sandy and well-drained – is ideal for corn, which Jake has 50 acres dedicated to. As corn only yields one harvest per planting, Jake plans methodically – planting in weekly successions to stretch the season to the fullest. The result is months of generously sized ears nestled with tender kernels and a creamy texture accompanying the rich sugars. Expect it to go through the end of September.

See all
We exist to fix the food system.
People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavor, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
