Thaddeus' Story
Born and raised on a small organic truck farm in rural Yolo County of California, Thaddeus grew up working the farm with rural working-class folks and hawking high priced organic produce to affluent city folks at farmers’ markets as the organic foods movement gained traction in the 1980s and 90s.
He and his brothers would inherit the small farm, Capay Fruits and Vegetables and the small CSA, Farm Fresh To You when their mother passed in 2000. Over the next two decades Thaddeus and his brothers successfully scaled the business to the largest of its kind, employing over one thousand people and delivering millions of boxes of fresh organic produce annually across the West Coast.

Thaddeus and the Barsotti family’s mission has always been to connect people with the farmers and land that grows their food.
While keeping our life long vision by practicing healthy crop rotation, encouraging a diverse ecosystem around the fields, efficiently using local water sources and carefully selecting produce varieties that grow well and taste great.
“Our aim is to create transparency and responsibility from everyone in the food industry to uplevel these conditions and in turn uplevel the health of the planet and the health of earth’s inhabitants.”
proudly featured in:
“Fixing the food system is not something that can be done by one specific group of people. In order to fix the food system, all the different components of the food system (farmers, distributors, government, academics, customers) need to band together behind a common vision. This united effort that spans industries is the opportunity.”
