Our Farms
Produce, Seasonal and Regional We pride ourselves in finding the best organic farms and carrying only the highest quality 100% USDA Certified Organic produce and fruit. Of course, depending on your growing season and region, it's not always possible to find everything locally. After all, the most popular fruit of all is the banana, which is only grown commercially in tropical regions. So even though we're confident our portion of local and U.S. grown produce rivals anyone, we still like bananas too. You can find out more about your growing season here and get informed about the local produce you should expect to see in your region. We've also added this little flag next to items grown in the U.S. and with farm information for many items, to make it easy for you. We believe you deserve to know where your food comes from. Have a look at some of our Good Food farms.

(Rosebush, MI)

Graham's Organics is the culmination of four generations spanning over 100 years of agricultural and livestock production. Understanding the need to give back to the land and insight to implement the process, Graham's Organics achieved organic certification in 1995 with OCIA (Organic Crop Improvement Association, Inc.). The farm consists of 850 certified acres on which they grow corn, soybeans, barley, oats, spelt, alfalfa and pastures consisting of clovers and grasses. On these pastures, with rotational grazing, they raise chickens, turkeys and Black Angus beef. The purebred Angus Beef herd represents 40 years of selective breeding. In 2005 Graham's Organic Meats and Processing was established. This is a USDA, custom and certified organic processing facility, which allows Graham's to maintain the quality and integrity of their certified organic meats.
