As the 2025 stone fruit season reaches full stride, Homegrown Organic Farms is celebrating a banner year of flavorful fruit, strong supply and continued growth across its stone fruit program.
With exceptional early-season quality, sizing and volume, the company is expanding its organic offerings while introducing a limited-run conventional program to meet the diverse needs of its retail partners, according to a news release.
With the addition of volume from Kliewer Family Farms, Homegrown says it is well-positioned to offer consistent, high-flavor fruit throughout the summer. The introduction of a small-scale conventional program provides additional flexibility and convenience for customers — while maintaining Homegrown’s commitment to grower support, transparency and care, the release said.
“We’re especially excited about the strength of the fruit coming off the trees this year,” said Parker Anderson, tree fruit category manager for Homegrown. “And with the support of our expanded grower base, we’re able to deliver the volume, quality and reliability our customers count on.”
At the core of Homegrown’s offering remains its Regenerative Organic Certified stone fruit program, now in its third season, the release said. These farms go beyond organic — building soil health, supporting biodiversity and restoring ecosystems — while producing consistently exceptional fruit. Combined with the company’s Equitable Food Initiative certified packing and cold storage facility, the grower said the program reflects high standards for both people and the planet.
“This is farming with integrity — from the soil to the shelf,” said Stephen Paul, deciduous category director for Homegrown. “As a 100% employee-owned company, we each have a stake in doing what’s right. That shows up in the fruit and in every part of how we do business.”
To support retail success, Homegrown also offers a suite of marketing tools, including its “Grown by” video series, which delivers real-time updates from the field and helps connect consumers with the people and practices behind the fruit.
“Shoppers care about more than flavor; they care about relationships, values and where their food comes from,” said Elise Smith, marketing manager for Homegrown. “We help our partners tell that story.”
Whether it’s through regenerative farming, fair labor certifications, grower-forward storytelling or customer-focused convenience, Homegrown Organic Farms said it is proud to offer more than a produce program, it’s a purpose-driven partnership.
“We grow with care, and we work with people who do the same,” Parker said. “If you’re looking for stone fruit that delivers on both flavor and values, let’s talk.”
