Produce Express has partnered with
Riverdog Farms for the purpose of distributing their produce to
our restaurant customers. Riverdog Farms is a 110 acre Certified
Organic farm located in Guinda, Ca.-a few miles west of Woodland
on Highway 16 in Yolo County. Riverdog is one of many small organic
farms in the area around Cache Creek and the Capay Valley. Their
primary distribution sources are Bay Area restaurants and Berkeley
and Marin farmer’s markets. In our area, they deliver to
the Sacramento Natural Food Co- op and Whole Foods. Our newly
established relationship will make their products available to
all of our restaurant and retail customers. The demand for Organic
Produce continues to grow and we are very pleased with this association
with Riverdog Farms. Whether your interest is organic or not,
the produce from Riverdog is of high quality and represents the
best in local and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Initially, Produce
Express will not be stocking all available items until we are
able to establish demand. In order to do so, we ask that you order
from the list and return it to us by fax. Riverdog will be delivering
to our warehouse on Tuesdays and Fridays and we will deliver on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. As Riverdog is a small farm, quantities
may be limited. Please contact our office if you wish to receive
the list on a weekly basis. Our fax number is 916-553-3030. Please
remember to include your name on the order sheet.
Sales of organic produce now total $10 billion per
year nation wide. While seemingly a large amount, it only represents
3-4% of all produce sales. However, there is enough interest in
organics to attract both large and small farms and growers. As
a result, almost all varieties of fruits and vegetables are grown
organically. At Produce Express, the vast majority of our produce
is ‘conventional’ because that is our market and it
is what our customers request. However, at any given moment a
number of organic items are in stock: Please call Jim Mills for
more information 825-9004.
