Who We Are
We are a family-owned and operated business delivering orchard-fresh fruits to western North Dakota and eastern Montana. Founded in 2013, the business is an offshoot of Jacobs Gardens, our family vegetable farm located outside Regent, North Dakota. We have been growing and selling fresh produce since 2006, marketing in Baker, Bowman, Hettinger, Dickinson and other regional towns.
In this time we've found both an appreciation and a need for quality produce in our communities. We are at once agriculturally rich and food-poor--the bread basket of the nation and the end of the food truck shipping lines. Fruits and vegetables often arrive in our stores weeks after they've been harvested. Not only does this mean soft, wrinkled produce, but the industrial food process means most of these fruits and vegetables are harvested weeks before maturity, to allow them to keep as they are transported. Given the expense and the lack of quality, many of us opt for canned produce anyway--meaning a less delicious and less nutritious meal.
We're here to change that. We believe everyone deserves access to fresh, delicious produce, and that a fresh peach or pile of ripe cherries on your plate means not only a tastier meal, but a healthier one. We intend to make that kind of fruit available to you all summer long.
