German term or phrase: Frischwaren aus kontrolliert biologischem Anbau
Struggled with classifying this one, so apolgies if it lands in the wrong place.
----

From a listing in a directory for a media, science, technology, and business park. No other context other than that the firm is a wholesaler and calls itself 'Terra Naturkost Frischdienst':

"Schwerpunkte: Handel mit Frischwaren aus kontrolliert biologischem Anbau"

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Organically grown farm-fresh food products


Explanation:
I googled this company, and they are listed as organic wholesalers, so you're OK saying organically grown (there is a legal as well as an agricultural definition as to what constitutes organic). And with no further context I would just stick with food products, which would include eggs, meats, and dairy products as well as fruits and vegetables.
