FARM-TO-DESK PRODUCE
Tony’s Family Farms is a St. Louis area-based grower and connecter of regional small farms across the country providing hyper-fresh, vegetables and fruits just after harvest, year-round. We deliver thousands of pounds of fruits, vegetables and herbs in the St. Louis area every week, sourced from our land and other like-minded farmers. Our farm partners are also dedicated to producing flavorful produce delivered at the peak of freshness.

We’ve designed this program to be turnkey. Our program is “market style” allowing employees to select exactly what they’d like. We deliver cases of our produce on the agreed upon day and time, ready to be opened and set up in your common area. Employees are provided with a paper bag, sized to your program’s price point, and can choose whatever they wish and fill up their bag.
What We Need From You
- A designated common area for the “farmers market” that is clean and easily accessible
- An area for our van to park conveniently by the delivery door for approximately 15-20 minutes
- An on-site coordinator to manage employee communications and market area cleanliness
