We celebrate fruits and vegetables throughout the seasons, meaning that we want produce at its best. Peak season picks mean peak freshness and flavor! This is an important distinction when it comes to The DLM Experience with our Produce department, and accomplishing it all comes down to relationships. Just as each and every crop that bears fruit or vegetables is carefully nurtured by its farmers, we seek to nurture relationships that share our quality values.
Our search sometimes takes us just a short drive away to a local farming friend to find sweet corn bursting with flavor in the heat of summer or stunning artisan pumpkins coming in a myriad of colors and textures. Other times, it takes us across the country to the orchards of the West Coast to find prized Comice pears grown in Hood River Valley, Oregon, and premium apples and cherries of Wenatchee, Washington. We are looking for apples and cherries that are larger in size, peaches and pears that are tree-ripened and hand-packed, and farms that are backed by families who value best practices.
Our Produce department is brimming with all sorts of fresh finds at every turn. Our Salad Bar is a showstopper featuring a smorgasbord of fresh fruits, vegetables, and flavorful salad creations all cut and prepared fresh daily. You’ll find pre-packaged fruits and veggies sliced and diced by our veggie butchers, orange juice that’s freshly squeezed in house, and DLM Nut Butters, including almond, cashew, and peanut, all ground on site.
