We proudly source more than 40 percent of the produce for our Farm-to-School Program from local California farms! Many of our farm partners are from multi-generation farming families, and several are women, BIPOC, or from other marginalized communities.
The FruitGuys has been building long-term relationships with California farms since 1998.
Below, you’ll find the stories of just a few of our many farm partners. We’re proud to call these folks our friends, and to work with them to bring your students the freshest, healthiest, most beautiful fruits and veggies around.
Italian immigrant Alex Sambado founded Primavera in the 1920s, and his family still runs the farm’s growing, packing, and shipping business today. They grow tasty cherries, apples, and walnuts, and pack produce from nearby farms, too.
Scully Packing Company is a family business that’s one part pear farm, one part packing facility. The Scully family grows their own pears and packs fruit for almost two dozen pear growers across California. Their growers use eco-friendly practices like integrated pest management and solar power.
