Food Alliance Certified

Growing Method:

· Sustainable Farming Practices: Sustainable agriculture is one that produces abundant food without depleting the earth’s resources or polluting its environment.

· Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the coordinated use of pest and environmental information with available pest control methods to prevent unacceptable levels of pest damage by the most economical means and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. IPM is fully implemented, with a wide range of natural pest control methods such as beneficial insects, careful weather monitoring and scouting. Least toxic products are used only when natural methods don’t work. Overall pest control minimizes negative impacts to human health and environment.

Food Safety: We require all of our employees harvesting and packaging our Farmers’ Market berries to follow proper food handling procedures, including wearing food handling gloves while picking berries.

Fresh Berries: We try to get everything picked within 24 hours of our markets. Our fruit is pre-cooled, which helps our product stay fresh for you.

Helping Others: We donate berries to Albany St. Mary’s Soup Kitchen and Corvallis Stone Soup Community Meal Program; Stone Soup is a free-meal-assistance program that serves meals to anyone in need.
