garden-fresh
Straight from soil
Garden-fresh describes produce that is extremely fresh, as if just picked from a garden.
The term emphasizes peak ripeness and quality: garden-fresh tomatoes, garden-fresh herbs.
Marketing uses it liberally for anything meant to evoke natural freshness, whether or not an actual garden was involved.
