Juan
Parra Ibarra planted this mango grove thirty-two years ago. For the past
twelve years, his son, Salvador Parra, has managed the grove using
sustainable organic methods.
The Parras are pioneers in organic agriculture in Mexico and today, they
are the only family in Mexico to grow, harvest and pack organic mangos.
Salvador Parra also implements Biodynamic growing techniques along with
his organic methods. New Harvest Organics is proud to be the exclusive
shipper of the Parra family’s mangos.
New Harvest Organics—Celebrating
its 18th Year with the Parra Family, Mexico’s Longest
Certified Organic Producer
Your customers want to know their organic
fruit from Mexico is grown with the highest quality
and integrity and from a
family they can trust. That is why we at
New Harvest Organics are delighted to begin our eighteenth season with
the Parra family. To this day the Parra family is the longest
continuously certified producer of organics in Mexico. They are the
ONLY family in Mexico to grow, pack and export organic mangoes in one
operation. The mangoes produced by the Parra family are handled
entirely from orchard to package by the Parras and this results in fruit
grown and packed with great care and exceptional integrity in regard to
organic production standards. Located just 12 hours from the U.S.
border, Guasave is the only region in the world from which mangoes can
be shipped into the U.S. without undergoing hot water treatment, so the
fruit can be harvested with maximum maturity, sheen and flavor.
New
Harvest is also just finishing Hadens and Tommy Atkins over the next
seven days. Kent mangoes are a new variety that we will be offering
this week. Keitt mangoes are about three weeks out. We will finish out
the season with Keitt mangoes hopefully taking us to mid September. We
will begin offering mangoes from Brazil and Ecuador by October 1st.
This is the time to bring in the Parra family’s fruit and promote a
really wonderful mango. We thank you for your support as does the Parra
family.
