New Harvest Organics is based in the small town of Patagonia, Arizona near the Mexican border and is owned and operated by Sherry Luna and Philip Ostrom. It began as an organic sprout and mushroom farm in Prescott, Arizona. And almost immediately began to distribute product for other small organic farms in northern Arizona. In 1992, NHO began working with organic fruit and vegetables producers in Mexico while expanding it’s marketing efforts to include the greater United States and Canada.
The philosophy of NHO is to complement domestic organic agriculture with a group of dedicated family-based organic farms in Mexico and Peru. NHO maintains personal relationships with it’s growers and believes that care and attention to small farmers make the best quality produce. This includes pineapples and limes from Oaxaca, squash from Sinaloa, melons, squash and cucumbers from Baja California, tomatoes from Sonora, oranges, lemons, grapefruits and apples from Arizona. In Willcox, the Briggs & Eggers families dedicate themselves to six varieties of apples, four varieties of peaches, Bartlett pears and plums. They are the original organic apple pioneers in the state of Arizona.
For this network of growers, NHO provides packaging, transportation, logistics, technical assistance, crop-planning and working capital investment. New Harvest Organics is committed to expanding current collective organic agricultural acreage (now over 2000 acres), encouraging producers to adhere to fair trade principles, finding ways to invest in the well being and life style of all laborers that make our organic food production possible, and making its enterprise more sustainable. This includes striving to include bio-diesel in its delivery trucks, making a transition to photovoltaic energy for the New Harvest Organic headquarters along with rainwater harvesting. Currently, the headquarters is based in a two-story adobe plastered straw bale structure.
