California grower expands stone fruit program

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. The company is expanding its organic offerings while introducing
a limited-run conventional program to meet the diverse needs of its retail partners.

With the addition of volume from Kliewer Family Farms, Homegrown 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.

"We're especially excited about the strength of the fruit coming off the trees this year," said Parker Anderson, Tree Fruit Category Manager. "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. 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 (EFI) certified
packing and cold storage facility, the program reflects high standards for both people and the planet.


Plums and Yellow Nectarines.

"This is farming with integrity—from the soil to the shelf," said Stephen Paul, Deciduous Category Director. "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," added Elise Smith, Marketing Manager. "We help our partners tell that story."
