A&A Organic Farms, Watsonville, Calif., is busy with a full line of spring crops.

The company ships organic produce exclusively. Crops shipping this spring include artichokes, sugar snap peas, broccoli, kales, chards and turmeric, from the company’s Central California hub, according to a news release.

A&A Organic Farms also has a steady supply of strawberries from California’s Central Coast and Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. President Andy Martin said strawberry pack options are 1-pound clamshells, 1-pound ReadyCycle package and open pint ReadyCycle containers.

The company has the open pint ReadyCycle packs and 1-pound boxes for a variety of items. The ReadyCycle packaging uses vegetable-based inks, food grade adhesives and a water-based coating.

“This packaging enables us to follow our commitment to help provide customers with options for environmentally sustainable and earth-friendly packaging,” according to the release.

The company’s citrus line includes limes and Valencia oranges.

“We are sending a container per week of organic limes from the Jalisco area,” Martin said in the release. “Organic lime production will be steady all year.”
