Making it easy to bring the farm to your table

James Sharp's family established Deans Farm in 1965 in Wilson. Their mission was to bring the best fresh produce to the community. We've been working with James for many years now and he always brings us delicious and beautiful produce.

When we were looking to offer our members some time-savers like prepped and chopped veggies, soups and frozen meals, Deans Farm was at the top of our list. We met with James to talk about the survey responses, Facebook comments, e-mails and calls we were getting from our members about what YOU wanted to see on our menu.

James responded in just a few days with a LONG list of what his farm and state-of-the-art farm kitchen could provide!  From veggie lasagna, squash casserole and all kinds of soups (tomato, veggie beef, etc.) to diced onions, carrots, celery and more, James has been helping us expand our menu for the past year.

 
We're also excited to be offering more in the coming months from James and Deans Farm. Look for additional chopped veggies, cubed squash & sweet potatoes, stir fry veggies, squash/zucchini medallions, spiralized zucchini and more on our menu now and in the near future. We hope these prepped veggies will be a great time-saver for you. We want to help make it easier for you to eat healthy and feed your family nutritious North Carolina produce all year-round.

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

If you’re trying to decide if a Produce Box membership is for you, you may be wondering, “Can’t I get this stuff at the grocery store? And is it cheaper there?” Well, the answer to both those questions would be sometimes. The grocery store doesn’t always have everything the farmers of North Carolina can offer.  And sometimes, you may not like the reasons WHY the grocery store is cheaper. Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communit...

Guest post from our friend (and member!) Kate at  Life of A Ginger This week my Produce Box delivery contained Cara Cara Red Flesh Navel Oranges (our favorite variety), Mixed-Organic Salad Greens,   Joyce Farms Naked Chicken  Breast Tenders, zucchini, yellow squash, vine ripe tomatoes, and avocados. Plus, two small bags of my all time FAVORITE chips, made right here in North Carolina,  Carolina Kettle Cozumel Jalapeno Queso Kettle Chips .  They are so good I have to lock them away from my husband and kids! (Want to join The Produce Box? Click here and then read on!) My family and I have been on a real health-kick the past few weeks (except for my small Carolina Kettle chip habit). I’ve been replacing a lot of carbs like pasta and rice for steamed or roasted vegetables. We have been eating a lot more vegetable-laden salads, and cutting out items like juice, sugary cereal, and desserts. But I’ve been avoiding cooking a family favorite, Te...
