About Organic Harvest Network

Who We Are

We connect high-quality farms with discerning buyers.

We take produce seriously (but, we don’t take ourselves seriously!). Since 1988, we have been intermediaries between high-quality small to medium-sized farms and discerning wholesale buyers. We work for growers that are stewards of the environment and support good labor practices.

We guaranteed organic standards from the beginning.

Organic Harvest Network was established in 1988 by Giuseppe Salvato with the idea to match organic family farmers with buyers of organic produce. And, while we aren’t against conventional produce, we’ve been organic specialist since day one.

We make your life simple.

We undertake crop planning, sales, marketing, logistics and accounting for the growers we represent, and in some cases, exclusively represent their produce brands. And we have designed and built proprietary ERP software to allow you to track order flow, pricing, customers, and other significant information in real time from anywhere in the world.

We help our buyers sell–consistently.

Buying from OHN is buying directly from growers, but better. By becoming an integral part of crop planning with our growers, Organic Harvest Network allows our buyers to plan their future marketing strategies. During the course of the season, we communicate any changes that may occur due to weather and other agricultural challenges. We make product recommendations and fill custom orders, leveraging 35 years of experience.

We are transparent, accountable, and intuitive for our partners.

Quality products, timely information and excellent service are the pillars upon which we build our relationships and our business. We are not driven entirely by profits. We are driven by good labor practices, a passion for tasty produce, and relationships with the people behind it all.

We specialize in the following commodities:

Asparagus
Peas & Beans
Tomatoes
Melons
Winter Squash
Leafy Greens
Brassicas
Summer Squash
Cucumbers
Peppers

We are discerning about our farms. We only partner with farms who consistently turn out excellent quality produce.
