Organic Ecuadorian Mangos
Our organic mangoes come from three main growing regions in the fertile lands of Ecuador. The farms are run by three brothers who have been practicing organic farming for over 10 years, and are currently working towards becoming certified as Fair Trade Growers. Even today, supporting these farmers also supports many families and communities in Central and southern Ecuador.
Flowering has been sporadic, so supplies will be a little down this year, although there will be ample availability of both Tommy Atkins and Ataulfo varieties. These will become available mid November and last through the end of December.

Organic Hothouse Israeli Peppers
Source Organic is pleased to offer organic greenhouse bell peppers from Israel. The peppers included in the program are red, orange and yellow bells, as well as the Palermo pepper. The Palermo is a pointed, long sweet pepper - much sweeter than the bell varieties, with a thicker wall and more “pepper meat”. This makes them ideal for grilling and stuffing.
The Israeli growers we work with are well known for their intense focus on quality products. They use only the most advanced growing facilities and practices in greenhouse production - carefully selecting seeds that are bred uniquely for various growing locations and markets. They employ state-of-the-art irrigation and fertilization systems and their technological innovations have been copied by growers around the world.
The peppers will be available November-April from Israel; and when April arrives, our peppers will then come out of Holland and last through October.
