The FruitGuys has more than 25 years of experience delivering farm-fresh fruit to offices and beyond. All of our fruit mix options are a little bit different, and the fruit inside changes weekly and seasonally. Each week, our produce buyers choose what’s most delicious from local farms and suppliers to create custom regional mixes. We truly care about our supply chain, prioritizing sourcing fruit from local farms and snacks from mission-minded makers (including many that are women-owned, BIPOC-owned, LGBTQ+-owned, and more). We also give back with every box, donating a minimum value of 20% of our annual profits to relieve hunger and support small farms. A core part of our mission is “regenerating the planet,” and we do it by: Sourcing fruit, veggies, and snacks from small farms and independent vendors, who help keep our food system diverse, our environment healthy, and our economy sustainable Funding sustainability grants for small farms through The FruitGuys Community Fund Donating our excess and imperfect produce and snacks to prevent food waste and feed people in need across the country Continually improving our processes with our planet in mind For over 25 years, The FruitGuys has delivered more than just farm-fresh fruit to offices and homes; we’ve cultivated a bridge b
