<\/a> \"Spring Dawn\" by Co-owner Karla S. Chambers[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAre your products BPA-Free?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong>We began incorporating the BPA-Free liners back in July 2011. We really had to push the industry to change.\u00a0 We are now proud to say that the BPA Free lined cans are now standard for the entire Farmer's Market line. However, we only just started printing them with the BPA Free label.\u00a0 The reason for the delay was due to government regulation.\r\n\r\nIs the Organic Pumpkin in the box BPA-Free too?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nYes!\u00a0 We included the new recart (box) packaging because of its BPA-Free properties.\r\n\r\nAre you going to stop carrying cans and transition to the box?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNo.\u00a0 We are going to continue to offer both packages.\r\n\r\nWhy does the pumpkin consistency differ from year to year?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAt Farmer's Market, we ban GMOs or genetically modified organisms and stay true to our organic practices. Growing and cultivating pumpkins is like creating a fine wine.\u00a0 It's an art and a science.\u00a0 We rely on Mother Nature to perfect our pumpkins.\u00a0 Every year, she behaves a little differently.\u00a0 Factors like rainfall, temperature changes, soil quality, and wind can influence the way a pumpkin develops. Although it may be a little different from season to season, it will still have the same great flavor and health properties.\r\n\r\nIf you have a particularly dense can of pumpkin try blending a tablespoon or two of water in to achieve the desired consistency.\r\n\r\nCan I use the product after the best by date?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\u00a0<\/strong>We cannot recommend consumption past \"Best By\", \"Exp Date\" or \"Use By\" for quality reasons.<\/span>\r\n\r\nHow long can I store the product for after I\u2019ve opened the can\/box?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe recommend that you store the product in an airtight container and consume it within 3 days.\r\n\r\nDo any of your products have additives?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe are a family farm.\u00a0 As parents, we believe in CLEAN LABELS.\u00a0 We want our delicious purees to speak for themselves.\u00a0 Simply put, we have only one ingredient in our labels except for the special blend in the Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix.\r\n\r\nDo Farmer's Market Foods contain gluten?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nNo, none of our products contain gluten. We swab equipment to test for gluten contamination to be sure that there is no cross contamination taking place.\r\n\r\nWhat about other allergens, such as eggs, dairy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, and soy?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAt Farmer's Market, we understand the seriousness of food allergies \u2013 they can be life threatening. We are pleased to be able to provide the marketplace with products that are completely clean and true to their label \u2013 100% pure and natural. Our strict processing procedures have given us honors as \u201cFood Processor of the Year\u201d in the State of Oregon. Simply put: no allergen contamination here.\r\n\r\nAre any of your products Genetically Modified?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFarmer's Market Foods is staunchly opposed to producing anything with genetically modified seed. We ban the use of GMOs and verify our products as NON GMO through the NON GMO Project.\r\n\r\nWhere can I find your products?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nLook for the store locator feature on our website:\u00a0https:\/\/fmf-old.abidesites.com\/about-us\/store-locator\/ and type in your zipcode to find the closest store near you.\u00a0 You can also order online through Amazon.com.\r\n\r\nWhy are your products canned not fresh?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAs the farmer and processor, we can:\r\n\u2022 Leave our products on the vine until the last possible moment, ensuring the highest possible nutrients and farm-fresh taste.\r\n\u2022 Puree the products within hours<\/strong> of harvest, locking in the just-picked flavor.\r\n\u2022 Reduce or eliminate waste from food spoiling in stores, en route, or in your refrigerator.\r\n
