Sun Spotlight!

Professor Maureen McCoy

This month, Sun Produce is thrilled to introduce another pillar of the community – Professor Maureen McCoy.

About Sun Produce Cooperative

Sun Produce Cooperative (SPC) is a multi-stakeholder agricultural and marketing organization that includes agricultural producers, distributors, buyers and market specialists.

Our Beginnings
Almost 6 years ago, a group of smaller-acreage farmers in central Arizona decided to come together to create solutions to the challenge of working long hours on our own.
Our Partners
Our partner's collaboration not only strengthens the our operational capabilities but also fosters a sense of community and shared goals in promoting sustainable and locally sourced food options.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create viable alternative distribution streams for Arizona’s smaller-scale producers, while creating demand for and expanded access to fresh in-season local food.

Our Farmers and Producers
Farmer cooperatives keep farmers growing the food we love because they can pool resources and share expenses. Together, they are stronger.

Health and Wellness

Healthy Recipes
Our recipes are designed with both taste and nutrition in mind. We believe that healthy eating should be enjoyable and satisfying, so we've crafted dishes that are not only good for you but also bursting with flavor.
Home Food Safety
Prioritizing home food safety is essential for protecting health, reducing food waste, and promoting confidence in the food you consume, contributing to a healthier and safer living environment
Nutrition Facts
We aim to demystify the world of nutrition and empower you to make informed choices about your diet. At the heart of healthy eating lies an understanding of nutrition, and a key tool in this journey is the nutrition chart.
What's Being Harvested?
A harvesting chart empowers consumers to make informed choices that prioritize freshness, flavor, nutrition, and sustainability in their food purchases, ultimately contributing to healthier lifestyles and a more sustainable food system.
