Sustainability

At the heart of our operations lies a deep commitment to sustainability. We view the land as our greatest asset and embrace practices that ensure its health and productivity for future generations. From water conservation and safe working environments to responsible waste management, every aspect of our operations is guided by a dedication to preserving and supporting the well-being of our community.

Systems-Based Approach

Our approach to sustainability is rooted in a systems-based land management strategy, adhering to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). This method ensures that our farming practices not only yield high-quality produce but also contribute positively to environmental health.

Safe Working Environments

We believe that sustainability extends to creating safe, year-round working environments for our employees. This commitment is fundamental to building a sustainable and responsible company, where the well-being of our team is as important as the health of our land.

Water Conservation

In the arid climate of the Central Valley, effective water conservation is crucial. Our use of drip irrigation systems significantly reduces water usage, preserving this vital resource while maintaining the fertility of our land.

Recycling

Our commitment to sustainability includes rigorous recycling practices. We ensure that all waste, including suboptimal vegetables, is responsibly managed, with nothing going to landfills, reflecting our dedication to environmental stewardship.

Organic & GMO Practices

While not exclusively organic, we respect all healthful lifestyle choices. Our focus is on growing healthy, GMO-free, naturally occurring hybrid vegetables, with limited pesticide use, ensuring safe and nutritious produce for families everywhere.

Solar Power Investment

Energy conservation is a key aspect of our sustainability efforts. Our significant investment in solar panels at our Fresno facility highlights our commitment to reducing energy consumption and securing a sustainable future.

Auditing Standards

We rigorously apply various auditing standards, including LGMA and Primus Auditing, with regular inspections across all stages of our supply chain for optimal food safety.
