FromTheFarm.com Celebrates National Fresh Fruits & Veggies Month

STOCKTON, CA, June 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) June is National Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Month, inspiring American families to eat healthier and get their fill of summer's delicious bounty. Now, California-based FromTheFarm.com makes it easy to enjoy fresh foods, bringing premium quality produce, including plump cherries, juicy peaches, and hard-to-find Black Mission fresh figs, direct to customers' doorsteps.

FromTheFarm stands behind every product with their "You'll Love the Flavor or it's Free" guarantee. Their farmers often process orders the day they're placed, meaning each hand-picked piece of fruit maintains its delicious, tree-ripened flavor from harvest to home. "Many of our growers come from several generations of farmers," explains the company's general manager, Phillip Lan. "They're passionate about providing the best possible fresh-from-the-farm flavor for our customers."
This summer, FromTheFarm encourages shoppers to banish the bland, as their farmers only ship fruit that is naturally sweetened and ready-to-eat, instead of produce picked while still immature.

Growing interest in eating fresher, healthier food has spawned new farmer's markets all over the country; over a thousand new markets were started in 2011 alone, according to the USDA. However, many consumers still don't have direct access to the finest produce and gourmet foods available, giving FromTheFarm a unique opportunity to serve as America's premier online farmer's market. Their carefully curated selection includes everything from exotic tropical fruit, to premier Piedmontese Beef, and handmade gourmet pies.

This week, FromTheFarm is featuring a 10% sale on fresh figs now through July 1st, 2012 only. (Use 10% off code: MISSIONFIG). These figs are grown by Tonetta "The Fig Lady," a third generation California fig farmer, whose grandfather, dad, and uncle inspired her passion to share "nature's candy" with people over the country. What makes Tonetta's figs the best? Her orchards are nestled in California's San Joaquin Valley, one of only two regions in the state with hot, dry summers and winters cool enough to grow this ancient Mediterranean fruit. That, and "I'm really good at what I do," she says. "I oversee every part of the process so that our figs are picked when they're perfectly ripe, and reach people in great condition."

FromTheFarm assures that no matter where they live, families can enjoy delicious food harvested at the peak of freshness by American farmers. In August, the company will begin taking orders for their new subscription-based food clubs, an exciting way to support our American farmers, learn their unique stories, and discover the freshest, best-tasting products available.

FromTheFarm.com proudly supports hard working family farmers. Their online service brings the finest produce, gourmet meats and speciality foods direct to your doorsteps. Look for the upcoming launch of their new subscription food clubs, featuring unique finds from American family farms.
