Duncan Family Farms Transitions Growing To Goodyear, Arizona & Imperial Valley, California

Goodyear, AZ — Duncan Family Farms, a 100% organic grower specializing in baby lettuces and greens, kales, beets, chards and herbs, has successfully transitioned growing operations to Imperial Valley, CA as well as their Goodyear, AZ headquarters.

As fall settles in and the weather begins to cool in the Central Coast and Central Valley regions of California, Duncan Family Farms has moved their growing operations from that region to the Imperial Valley in southern California and Goodyear in the West Valley of Arizona near Phoenix. In order to continue supplying leafy greens to their customers year-round, they have transitioned organic green and red curly kale, lacinato kale and Italian parsley to Imperial Valley and organic baby spinach, spring mix, arugula, baby kale, dill, green curly kale, Salanova® lettuce and culinary herbs to Goodyear. In addition to the year-round crops that were transitioned, they are also now growing organic chards, beets, broccoli, cauliflower and herbs in Imperial Valley as well as carrots and strawberries in Goodyear. 

“The warmer weather this year has put us ahead of schedule by about a week, and all of our product quality is looking great with strong volumes,” said Pete Guerrero, vice president of operations. “Our ability to transition growing to different climates helps us fulfill our mission to produce healthy, life-giving food.”

Duncan Family Farms is one of the leading organic growers in the United States providing raw product for some of the largest value-added processors in the world who use their products for bagged salads and more. In addition, their specialty bunched greens, herbs, root crops, broccoli, cauliflower and Salanova lettuce are available for both retail and food service distribution.
