The FruitGuys deliver local farm-fresh fruit and clean-ingredient snacks to businesses and schools nationwide, with a priority on green and sustainable processes. We buy directly from small regional farms whenever seasonally possible to supply some of America's most unique and best-tasting fruit.
We also founded the FruitGuys Community Fund in 2012 to provide small grants (up to $5,000) to small farms and agricultural nonprofits for sustainability projects that have a large positive impact on the environment, local food systems, and farm diversity. Since 2012, we have awarded more than $214,000 to 54 sustainable small farms.
We believe that providing small, manageable grants can have big impacts for farms. Small independent American farms are catalysts for environmental and economic self-sufficiency, sustainability, and food access. Our goal is to back small farms in their efforts for greater environmental and economic health, community engagement, and advocacy that supports sustainable agriculture.
