Organic is the purest form of fruit. Fruit that is organic will often have natural blemishes and not always be the exact form that some might be used to.
Does The Fruit Company grow its own organic produce?
While we do grow organic for our personal use we currently do not grow organic commercially. We have worked with some of the best organic farms in the area to provide you with only the best organic fruit. We proudly purchase our organic fruit from the following USDA Certified Organic Farms:

It is still better to adhere on organic farming because the fruits and vegetables does not contain those harmful chemicals.
Every food that we eat should come from Organic Farming. I really get scared about those toxins coming from chemical fertilizers and chemical pesticides. I only eat foods which are certified that they are organically grown.
