Our Story
Where can you find Hand Picked Produce? Every Saturday we are on the Southeast corner of Broadway and Houghton from 9 am til 2 pm at our open air FARM-acy! You can also select “Shop Now” at the top of our page to schedule home delivery. "We are gatherers not growers" says Gilbert Mejias. the founder and owner of Hand Picked Produce. "We gather the very best products, whenever possible from local growers, to offer our customers the best selection of pesticide free, naturally grown and organic foods. Our goal is to support growers that are growing in a sustainable regenerative way where ever they are ” At Hand Picked Produce you will find locally grown fruits and veggies side by side with more exotic treats like mango and pineapple. We work with our growers to find healthy and safe foods that our customers will be proud to feed their families. Small growers everywhere feel the pressure to adopt commercial growers practices to be competitive and stay profitable. This means more pesticides, more dependence on GE crops and often unfair labor practices. Our goal is to offer a more direct link to their customers allowing the growers to grow, the sellers to sell (that’s us!) but without the need to try to compete with big box discount pricing. We believe growers deserve a fair price for all their hard work! We also see a need for consumer education. Because there is so much confusion about terms like GMO vs GE. certified organic, naturally grown and because the Department of Agriculture's regulations can be so confusing we find ourselves in a position to help our customers navigate and understand those terms so that they can make the most informed choices for their families.
