SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

For Greenfieldfarms Fruit, sustainability isn't merely about checking boxes or green-colored packaging. It's a way of life based on the forward-thinking desire to maintain the land for future generations. We know that Mother Nature employs the best farmers and we aim to create a mutually beneficial relationship with her most powerful partners: pollinators, natural decomposition, and sunshine. Our aim is to create a mutually beneficial relationship with these farmers, working together in tandem with nature.

STARTS WITH THE SOIL
A key component to growing fruit is taking care of the soil that the trees are planted in. A critical component of how we do this is our soil amendment program. This utilizes culled apples and clippings from the orchards to create a nutritious soil compound known as humus. This helps keep our soil strong and healthy without the addition of harsher compounds.

POLLINATORS ARE CRITICAL
Pollinators are critical to growing fruit. Without the little bugs buzzing around our trees in the springtime, we wouldn't have any fruit to speak of. Because they are so important to growing our crops, you will find designated pollinator habitat at every one of our orchards. We even teamed up with Bee Better to certify 150 acres of pollinator habitat just to put the final seal of approval on our plantings.

Our Environmental Sustainability
Year over year, we measure our environmental sustainability, specifically looking at our use of energy (renewable and non-renewable), water, chemical usage and recycling efforts. Having this information on hand, allows us to move beyond words to action, ensuring that we keep an eye on continuous improvement.
