A relative of ginger, turmeric comes from the rhizome (root) of a native Asian plant and has been used in cooking for hundreds of years. It is often promoted as a dietary supplement for a variety of conditions, including arthritis, digestive issues, and allergies.

At Farm to People, we source the majority of our products locally, with some exceptions for items that don't grow well in the Northeast climate - like turmeric grown in Jamaica. While supporting local farmers is our priority, we occasionally include select non-local items on our site to provide variety.
Whether sourced locally or from further away, all products meet our high standards. We maintain year-round partnerships with small farms to ensure consistently excellent produce in every delivery.
