At Fresha, we know you want to feed your family the best food available. To do that, you need access to fresh, local produce. The problem is most carrots are shipped from farms thousands of miles away. This leaves you feeling uncertain about the quality of your produce. We believe you should have access to locally grown carrots, so you feel confident in your food choices. As farmers ourselves, we get it. Since 2019 we’ve been supplying local grocery stores with fresh carrots from our family farms in Minnesota and Georgia. Due to our cool nights, long summer days, and rich soil, we have the ideal growing conditions for sweeter, better-tasting carrots.
