Introducing Joan’s Fresh Produce Market:
A New Standard in Ethical, Healthy Living.
Welcome to Joan’s market!
We are thrilled to introduce a new source of Glyphosate-free produce right here in Texas, supplied through Ethical Fashion Guatemala in partnership with IMAP and other dedicated producers. At Joan’s market, we are committed to offering our customers fresh, healthy, and ethically sourced fruits and vegetables—all grown with a focus on sustainability, wellness, and the preservation of heirloom seeds.
A Healthy Choice: Glyphosate-Free Guarantee
In a world where quality and health are more important than ever, Joan Cass ensures that the produce available in her shop is free from harmful pesticides, particularly Glyphosate. Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide that has been linked to environmental and health concerns. By choosing produce grown without this chemical, you are making a conscious decision to protect your health and support eco-friendly farming practices.
IMAP Heirloom Seeds and Chemical-Free Farming
At the heart of our produce is the rich agricultural heritage of Guatemala. IMAP (Mesoamerican Permaculture Institute), along with small-scale local farmers, uses heirloom seeds that have been passed down through generations. These seeds are part of a vital tradition that preserves the biodiversity and nutritional quality of indigenous crops.
None of the crops grown from these seeds use synthetic chemicals. Instead, they are cultivated using permaculture methods, ensuring that every plant is nurtured naturally, without harming the soil or the environment. When you buy produce from Joan Cass, you are supporting ancient farming techniques that honor both the land and your health.
