How are we "Green"?

Our Green Initiatives

 

We believe in preserving our natural resources and treating them with care! We are GMO Free! From our farming practices to our packaging – we are thinking it all through!

 

The farm operation uses the latest in sustainable agricultural practices. We have been using Direct Seeding and NO-Till practices since 1982. These changes have greatly reduced soil erosion, have increased soil health and helped us control our cost in an ever-rising input cost environment. In 2006 we became “Food Alliance” certified.

 

We are committed to improving our farms and we are committed to evaluating new technologies and farming practices that ensure our ground is forever protected as well as viable.

 



 


 

 We don’t just stop at preserving the land – its our packaging too!

 

Our 5 LB bags are packaged in burlap (aka jute). Burlap is a vegetable fiber that can be spun into strong threads to make fabric.

 

The burlap we use is important in packaging. Although it is much more expensive than other materials, the burlap keeps the inside of the bag dark which is necessary in preserving the color of our food. If we allowed the food to be out in light (natural or unatural) for an extended period of time. Eventually you would see a less aesthetic product. For example, our green peas would fade to white.

 

Our 3 LB bags are 100% cotton. Cotton is also plant derived, re-useable and environmentally friendly.

 

The ink we print on our bags is water based and environmentally friendly!

 

Not only do we select earth friendly fabrics for our packaging but they also play an important role in preserving the aesthetic quality of our foods for your long time enjoyment.
