🌶️ Specialty Spotlight: Local Jimmy Nardello Peppers 🌶️

Now available by preorder through our Nashville warehouse, Jimmy Nardello peppers are a chef favorite celebrated for their exceptional sweetness, rich flavor, and incredible versatility.

This treasured heirloom pepper traces its roots to Ruoti, Italy, where Angela Nardello preserved the family’s prized seeds before immigrating to Connecticut in 1887. Today, the Jimmy Nardello is considered one of America’s most beloved pepper varieties, known for its thin skin, nearly seedless interior, and outstanding performance in the kitchen.

Perfect for roasting, grilling, sautéing, or simply blistering with olive oil and sea salt, these peppers bring depth and sweetness to late-summer menus.

Proudly grown by Bloomsbury Farm and Cul2vate Farm.

📍 Available by preorder at FreshPoint Nashville. Contact your sales representative to reserve yours today!

If you’ve ever wondered how South Florida’s restaurants seem to have a direct line to the freshest herbs, greens, and just‑picked local produce, the answer is often seen rolling down the highway in a bright, veggie‑splashed FreshPoint truck. 🚚

Recently, Edible South Florida Magazine pulled back the curtain on some of the people behind those deliveries.

🚜 Growing More Than Produce with Cul2vate 🌱

FreshPoint is proud to partner with Cul2vate, a Nashville farm that provides agricultural training and employment opportunities for individuals in recovery. Much of the produce they grow is donated locally, and during the winter months, they focus on food rescue efforts to support nonprofits across our community.

Harvest Director Adam Harper and FreshPoint Local Product Specialist Taylor Ussery recently planned the Spring/Summer 2026 crop lineup, featuring:

🌶️ Jimmy Nardello peppers
🌶️ Corno di Toro peppers
🌶️ Fresno peppers
🫐 Blackberries (through mid-July)
🍅 Rebelski tomatoes – a unique French greenhouse beefsteak variety known for its pumpkin-like ridges

For every pound of food FreshPoint purchases, another pound is donated to help feed families in need. Additionally, all proceeds from produce sales are reinvested into the organization to support the training and development of new and aspiring farmers. Join us in supporting local agriculture, fighting food insecurity, and creating opportunities for the next generation of farmers. #peoplepassionproduce #eatseasonal #knowyourfarmer #freshproduce Cul2vate

It's Wallpaper Wednesday...and we are talking about our cutting fresh solutions with FreshPoint FreshCuts®! ⁠

When you buy FreshCuts mango spears, you are getting freshly cut produce in the amount that you need, especially if you don’t have the time or labor to do it in house. With mangos, you also need to allow them to ripen fully to maximize their texture and flavor, and they can be a challenge to cut efficiently to get the most yield and least waste. Take this prep item off your plate and let us handle the cutting for you. 🥭⁠

Add a little color to your workspace with this vibrant desktop wallpaper. ⁠Click the link in to download the wallpaper and then scan to see this month’s recipe idea of Fresh Avocado, Mango, and Herb Shrimp Salad. ⁠

The sweetness of mangos combined with the pepperiness of arugula and the pop of cherry tomatoes are a match made in heaven. Add in the briny flavor of the shrimp from Buckhead Meat & Seafood, and you have a crisp, bright, salad that can attract a wide variety of tastes. Check it out here 🖥️https://bit.ly/3KJeMvz
