A bear is a symbol of strength and courage that offers protection and loyalty. James Bassetti, Sr., affectionately known as “The Bear,” earned such a reputation with a successful produce business due to his fierce commitment to supplying the best produce possible for his customers. J&D Farms seeks to improve the health and wellness of Texans by delivering flavorful and nutritious produce from their family to yours. Their home, the Rio Grande Valley, is known for its rich, fertile soil and mild winters, allowing the plants to grow at a slower pace with less fertilizer use than other growing regions. The result: better tasting and longer lasting vegetables. J&D Farms is dedicated to sustainability through the implementation of recyclable and reusable shipping containers, drip irrigation, retention ponds, custom wind breaks, cover crops, composting, and food waste reduction practices.
