Kasturi Farms began in 2012 with a mission to build a farm that both nourishes the community and nurtures the land. ⁠

Today, they proudly supply FreshPoint Dallas with a variety of fresh produce, including summer squash, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, fenugreek, Indian eggplant, Thai eggplant, and more.⁠

Owner Vijay Singhal is deeply passionate about the work, sharing, “Farming makes me feel alive. The cycle of sowing seeds, growing, nourishing, harvesting, and eating—and then composting—is magical. It makes me feel truly in touch with nature, and I love living that way.”⁠

Clementines are small, juicy, and bursting with sweet, bright citrus flavor. 🍊

They’re seedless, easy to peel, and slightly sweeter, making them perfect for quick prep in the kitchen. Chefs can segment them for salads, zest the peels for dressings and marinades, or use the juice in glazes and sauces.

Their vibrant color and natural sweetness make them a versatile ingredient for both savory and sweet dishes; a simple way to bring brightness and seasonal flair to your menu. 👨‍🍳✨

Why is this time of year so important to our industry?

During the annual field transition, fall weather can be erratic as warm and cool temps alternate while the season changes...and this will have an effect on produce in the field.

Our QA team is in the field inspecting what makes the cut and keeping us all in the loop via the FreshPress.
