After years of nourishing our community, Beth Kazmar and Steve Pincus of Tipi Produce have announced their retirement. 

From their farm in Evansville, Tipi Produce has been a longtime partner (since 1981!) and trusted grower for our Co-op, bringing us cabbage, carrots, daikon, celeriac, and so much more over the years. Their care for the land and commitment to quality have made a lasting impact on our stores and our community.

Their final deliveries for carrots, daikon, and celeriac are expected in early April. Driftless Organics out of Soldiers Grove will take over as our carrot supplier—a farm you may already know as our summer carrot source and provider of 3 lb. bagged carrots.

We are incredibly grateful to Beth and Steve for their partnership, dedication, and friendship over the years. Thank you, Beth and Steve! We wish you all the best in your well-earned retirement!

You can still visit the farm! Tipi will continue their u-pick strawberry and plum tomato harvests. Visit www.tipiproduce.com/berry-upicks to learn more.
