Producer catalogue

What we accept

Community Farm Table accepts these food types from producers. A producer picks a type when they list food, or names their own item in one of these categories. USDA Organic is one certification they can claim. A certification is published only after it is verified. Being on this list does not make a food organic. Ordering isn't open yet.

If you see a food you think should not be here, or you do not see a food you think should be, message us.
