About Us
Blumenberry Farms is synonymous with premium organic produce. In production since 1995, we grow superior-quality freshness and flavor for local families, foodies, restaurants, and retailers. Cheap inflated produce is toxic, limp and lifeless. Our produce is super-fresh, vibrant, nutritionally superior and deliciously aromatic. Viva inspired cuisine! Voted Gold Medal Farm for Best Of Sarasota in SRQ magazine's yearly contest 2023. |

As one of the original farms in the Sarasota-Manatee food shed, and 1 of only 2 certified organic farms in Sarasota county, we follow National Organic Standards and have been QCS Certified Organic for 25 years. |
We believe in Organic Farming for many reasons:
Using natural fertilizers, produced from manures, plants, and minerals.
Plants grown in natural conditions create flavor, health and nutrition.
Treating our animals well by providing high quality feed, water, and open spaces.
Responsible use of resources.
