Who we are
Founded in 2002, Fresh Crop works its own farms and a network of audited growers in the Costa Rican highlands. Two decades later we supply national supermarket chains and export programmes abroad, with the same obsession for freshness we started with.
Mission
To guarantee fresh, safe products that meet the highest quality and food-safety standards, while continuously developing our team and our processes.
Vision
To expand our presence in the global market, standing out for quality, service and leading-edge technology.
The flagship
Drag the carrot to spin it 360°. It keeps turning on its own when you let go.
Two proven varieties selected for uniform shape, colour intensity and shelf life.
Grown between 1,800 and 2,600 m in Cartago, where cool nights build sweetness.
Medium, Jumbo, Baby and Colored, graded mechanically and checked by hand.
Washed, graded and pre-cooled within a day of harvest, then shipped under control.
