Learn how Sprouts Farmers Market selects the best and fresh produce for you. Sprouts employs a multi-faceted approach to produce selection, prioritizing quality, freshness, and sustainability. They conduct daily quality checks to ensure items are picked based on freshness, with a focus on separating organic from non-organic produce. Sprouts also partners with local and regional farms to source seasonal, peak-flavor produce. Furthermore, Sprouts has initiatives like the rescued program to find homes for traditionally "ugly" produce, promoting both sustainability and supporting farmers.
