Exceptional Product, High Standards
Conventional and Organic Produce at Green Life Farms
We do more than sell a product—we deliver quality. Our fruits and vegetables, available in over 20 conventional and organic varieties, are sustainably grown, carefully harvested, and expertly packed to meet the highest agricultural and production standards. Each item is stored in properly hydrated, ventilated containers to preserve freshness and stability, ensuring peak quality at the time of shipment.
Our asparagus is harvested when the stems with buds reach 9 inches in length. They are then packed in varying quantities in ventilated, pyramid-shaped boxes containing soaked pads underneath to maintain proper humidity. The boxes are then hydro-cooled, then stored in our cooler until they are loaded and shipped.
Our beets are carefully tied and bunched at full-length, or partially removed to no less than 6 inches. Beets with short-trimmed tops show leaf stems to no more than 4 inches in length. Beets with tops completely removed are cut at no more than one-half inch in length.
Broccoli crowns and China-cut crowns and florets are bundled in packs of 14 and 18. They are packed immediately in the fields using our state-of-the-art harvesting machines, then transported to our packing sheds to be vacuum-cooled (or iced), depending upon our customer’s preference.
Celery is washed and packed immediately in the field using our custom stainless-steel equipment. Due to customer demand, we harvest and pack our celery stalks (or hearts) in numbers of 24, 30 or 36. They are then transferred to our packing sheds where they are cooled and stored in our vacuum cooler, then stored in our standard cooling room until the products are loaded and shipped.
Because of the delicate nature of cilantro, we pay extra attention to details. Our cilantro is packed in the field using clean, custom stainless-steel equipment. Every field worker wears gloves and maintains strict harvesting practices according to our food safety rules. We are also fully equipped to accommodate custom packing requests, handled in our packing shed.
Our onions are sized according to USDA standards. When our onions are at the right stage of size and maturity, we harvest and undercut the bulbs and let them dry in the fields until 5-8% of the weight is moderated. We then harvest and transport our crops to our dedicated packing shed where they are sorted and bagged, using our automated packing process.
Our green beans are harvested at the peak moment as they are rapidly growing and developing. They are harvested when the fruit is bright green, the pod is fleshy and seeds are small and green.
Our green onion crops are harvested according to the mean diameter of the base plate of the immature bulb. This diameter is between .6 and 1.3 cm (1/4 to ½ inch) which also defines the size that it will go on small, medium, or large. We cut the roots in the fields to ¼ to ½ inch in length and trim the green onion stalks to a length of 11 inches. The crops are then transferred to our packing shed, where they are washed and carefully packed.
Our Kale is carefully packed in the field while maintaining strict food safety standards. Every leaf we pack is well-trimmed to no more than ¾” from the outer leaves. For specialized orders, we have full packing capabilities in our storage shed.
All of our leeks are firm and smooth, free of blemishes, and have characteristic white stems with dark green leaves. The cut bottoms are flat, as rounded bottoms may indicate prolonged storage and cut at the appropriate length. We pack and wash them in our packing shed to reduce dirt damage and ensure a clean product.
Depending upon client preference, offer plain and curly parsley. We generally harvest parsley after 70 to 90 days of planting. Due to the delicate nature of parsley, our harvesters and packers abide by strict food safety procedures that keenly distinguish the quality of our product.
We bunch and pack our radishes in cartons, top them with ice and pack them with polyethylene bags of different sizes. Radish harvesting is dependent upon the days of post-seeding which may vary from 30 to 60 days. We offer both mild flavor and crisp radishes with a minimum size of 5/8 Inches.
