Dean’s understands the intricate role organic farming and the consumption of organic foods plays in the connection between healthy living and a healthy planet. That’s why our fresh organic produce departments are the cornerstones of our stores. We are and always have been committed to providing only the highest quality 100% certified organic fruits and vegetables.

Why buy organic produce? It’s better for you and better for the planet. Organic produce has been grown without any artificial pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, or genetically-modifed seed.

Our goal is to keep the connection alive between farmer and customer, so we’ve partnered with Zone 7 – a New Jersey-based, 100% local, farm-fresh food distributor that works with works with 120+ sustainable farms in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania – to provide the highest quality ingredients from regional farms.
