(please scroll down to the "Jackson Heights Share"

The frozen share will receive a total of 35 items spread out over the four deliveries. The share consists of frozen items which are either individually quick frozen (IQF) or pureed fruits/vegetables. The IQF process freezes each kernel of corn, each berry, which not only maximizes flavor, but allows you to parcel out what you need (without having to hack off a chunk from a solid block), and put the rest of the package back in the freezer. We freeze at the peak of freshness, often hours after the farmer’s harvest.
