Seal the Seasons

Durham, NC


Seal the Seasons was founded in 2014 to help make local frozen produce available year-round, while also helping provide small family farms with a reliable income stream year after year. CEO Patrick Mateer and his team work with family farmers on a state-by-state basis to freeze their produce in season and sell it in local grocery stores 365 days a year. They are on a mission to create a more localized food system and make local produce available year-round. Their close relationships with local farmers allows us to source only the best produce, without worry about the need to survive lengthy transport. In 2017, Seal the Seasons became a certified B Corporation.
