Collection: Hillside Gardens

Owned by Ron Gleason, Hillside Gardens is a fourth generation family farm and processing facility, and are one of the bigger farms we work with at 750 acres. They were early adopters of the Local Food Plus program and place a high value on sustainability and innovation. Hillside utilizes a robust traceability program and has worked with other farms on similar programs - all so that farms can improve operations, safety standards and food quality. They are also pioneers of the "perfectly imperfect" initiative to market high quality vegetables to retailers that may have had some cosmetic marks but were still great to eat, to cut down on food wastes.
