Fortunately for die-hard pistachio lovers, there is still a place in metro Milwaukee where they can buy their favorite nuts. Outpost Natural Foods rises to meet customer’s needs by offering shelled and unshelled organic bulk pistachios from Braga Organic Farms, a small family farm located in the Central Valley of California. Braga is not indicated with the latest recall involving pistachios.

Braga Organic Farms has been growing and selling organic nuts for over 10 years.

• Quality organic product grown according to strict National Organic Program standards
• Third-party certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers
• Pack and ship directly from the farm, ensuring quality control
• All nuts come from one plot
• They do not purchase additional nuts from outside sources
• As required by law, products are tested regularly for food borne pathogens

Small farms are rapidly disappearing. Eighty-six percent of all fruits and vegetables are grown near metropolitan areas. Urban development puts these farms at risk. Buying products from small farms supports the rural economy. These farms provide much needed employment and preserve valuable farm and ranchland.

Outpost director of communications, Margaret Mittelstadt, says, “Supporting small family farms, like Braga Organic, is part of doing business at Outpost. In these unprecedented times of food insecurity, it’s nice to know the face behind the food you eat.”
