Champagne Mangoes These are the creme de la creme of mangoes. Soft and silky, tangy and super sweet, they’re a favorite among staff and Guests alike. Champagne mangoes are at their best when they’re bright yellow, fragrant, and soft to the touch. In peak season in early June, mangoes are among the most popular fruits in the world and we think these little ones are among the best.

Local Organic Asparagus – Last Resort Farm: Our friends at Last Resort are known for many amazing quality things, but one of the most popular is their delicious organic asparagus. Sweet and tender, asparagus grows so fast in hot weather “it almost needs to be harvested twice a day” – Silas Doyle Burr   ….and the season goes just as fast.

Local Organic Greens – Diggers’ Mirth Collective Farm  Welcome back to our collective farm partners, Diggers’ Mirth Collective! This group of people is one of the friendliest you’ll meet and they have been collectively farming in the Intervale, Burlington’s unofficial breadbasket, for over 20 years.  Specializing in tender salad greens and herbs, they harvest what we order and bring it to us (often by the end of the day) up to three times a week, so we can offer truly the freshest most delicious greens. We have their spicy salad mix, arugula, spinach, and mesclun mix available in produce now!

Local Organic Mushroom Medley – 1000 Stone Farm  –This farmer’s choice medley is a very special revolving selection of gourmet mushrooms and can include Lion’s Mane, Chestnut, Pioppino, Shiitake, or Oyster mushrooms for a beautiful and delicious mix of varieties every time. It’s rare to find a certified organic small scale mushroom farm (they’re hard to grow!), so we’re beyond thrilled and honored to offer these in our produce department.  Growing in Brookfield, VT, 1000 Stone Farm also produces many other favorite crops and can be found year-round at the Burlington
