Farm-fresh Produce
Sprouts Farmers Market is proud to work with local farmers across the country to bring you and your family the freshest produce around! Bringing local produce to your store means it spends less time in storage and transit–keeping it as fresh as possible! We strive to choose farms that promote healthy, clean farming practices in North Carolina!

Cottle Farms
Cottle Farms is a family-owned farm who has been growing the freshest berries, grapes and vegetables in Faison, North Carolina since 1964! Ned A. Cottle is a third-generation farmer who planted his first crop of strawberries after seeing a demand for U-Pick berries in both consumers and retailers. While California farms were heavily concentrated in commercial sales, establishing the U-Pick model helped them stand out among the rapid growth of berry farms. Ned’s son, Ron, has helped him grow the business into the success that it is today to bring you and your family high-quality produce every season.

- Covington:
- Purple:
- Murasaki:
Covington sweet potatoes offer a creamy and malty, sweet flavor. With its uniform-shape, rose-colored skin and moist, orange flesh, the Covington sweet potato is quickly becoming a fan favorite thanks to its visual appeal and stable shelf life.
The Purple Sweet Potato has a deep purple flesh and skin—hence its namesake. This sweet potato has a slightly milder flavor and is adored in its presentation because of its unique color. Scott Farms recommends this sweet potato baked, steamed, sautéed or even in a dessert.
The Murasaki sweet potato is known for its dark red skin and white dry, starchy flesh. Also known as the Japanese sweet potato, the Murasaki variety has a nutty flavor that serves as a great alternative to the white potato.
