It’s easy to talk about what’s wrong with our food system — ultra-processed food, shady farming practices, chemical-laced produce…
But today we’re talking about something that’s going right.
Today’s newsletter is a short and sweet story about a small farm in Florida that’s growing the most delicious, jaw-dropping blueberries I’ve ever tasted — and doing it with integrity.
Last year, I sent boxes of their berries to a few friends.
The feedback?
“What are these blueberries?!” “I need more — ASAP!”
These blueberries aren’t just tasty. They’re grown the way food should be grown — in living soil, without shortcuts, by a farmer who actually gives a damn.
That farmer is Hugh Kent, the farm is King Grove Organic Farm, and I have no affiliation with them, I’m just such a big fan of their berries and their advocacy in the organic movement!
Below are 4 quick and wild facts that make this place the world’s best organic blueberry farm in the country.
Let’s get into it…
Here’s something most skincare brands won’t tell you—ceramide production starts to decline in your 30s, leaving your skin more prone to dryness, fine lines, and damage. Ceramides are the essential lipids that lock in moisture and without them, skin becomes dull, dry, and vulnerable.
That’s where Pique Tea’s Radiant Skin Duo comes in. This powerhouse combo is designed to work from the inside out—supporting your skin’s natural hydration, elasticity, and glow with ingredients that go far beyond the surface.
With Sun Goddess Matcha and their wildly popular BT Fountain Electrolytes, this duo has been clinically proven to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines.
The hyaluronic acid in BT Fountain supports a youthful glow from the inside out. And the green tea catechins in Pique’s ceremonial-grade matcha help to brighten and firm the skin. This is my top recommendation for anyone looking for high-quality matcha with powerful skin-boosting benefits.
While these sachets aren’t a replacement for a balanced diet, hydration, and topical skincare, they are a powerful addition to any routine that prioritizes real, lasting skin health.
And here’s what sets Pique apart—every product is Quadruple Toxin Screened for purity, so you can trust that you’re putting only the cleanest, science-backed ingredients into your body. No artificial junk, no preservatives, no sugar—just pure, skin-loving goodness.
Alright, so let’s jump into 4 of the reasons that King Grove Organic Farm is the best!
- Grown in Real Soil (Not in a Plastic Bucket)
Most “organic” blueberries at the store are hydroponic — grown in plastic bags filled with coconut fiber and synthetic nutrients. They’ve never touched soil, which is why they are often mushy or get moldy quickly.
King Grove does it differently. Their berries grow in actual, living soil — rich, biodiverse earth on a restored citrus grove. And this soil isn’t just dirt — it’s teeming with life. A single spoonful contains over 8 billion microbes — more than there are people on the planet.
These microbes feed the plants, build resilience, unlock flavor that hydroponic systems just can’t match, and even help sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The difference? You can taste it.
- Taste Comes First
These berries weren’t bred for shelf life or mass shipping. They were bred to blow your taste buds away. Picked at peak ripeness, chilled within minutes, and shipped fast — they taste like sunshine and soil and nothing like what you get from the store. Even chef Dan Barber called them “jaw-dropping.”
- They’re Fighting for the Soul of Organic
The organic label is being watered down — hydroponic berries can still be called “organic.” Hugh Kent isn’t having it. He’s part of the Real Organic Project, fighting to keep real soil-based farming alive. His farm is dual-certified: USDA Organic and Real Organic Project approved.
- These Berries Have a Cult Following
I’m not the only one obsessed. King Grove has fans ranging from health experts to neurologists to top chefs. Even companies who’ve used their berries for gifting saw repeat orders spike by 800%. Once you try them, you’ll get it.
Final Note: This isn’t sponsored email and I don’t get a cut for promoting the farm. I just love sharing high-integrity food sources with you — especially when they taste this good.
Unfortunately, they don’t ship to every state — California, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Puerto Rico, and Washington are all off the table due to weird regulatory issues.
But if you live in one of those states, join their email list and stay tuned for their frozen berry launch later this year.
Hope you enjoy,
