Sustainable Innovation
As farmers, we consider ourselves stewards of the land. That’s why sustainability is a daily commitment in our groves.
All groves and harvest crews are Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certified, the most stringent food safety certification available.
- We employ drip irrigation and fan jets so our trees receive only as much water as they need.
- We minimize pesticide use in favor of more environmentally safe alternatives.
- Minimizing soil erosion is a top priority.
- Wind machines help stabilize temperature in the winter to prevent frost damage.
Our Wonderful® Halos® mandarin plant reinforces our commitment to innovation, operational excellence and clean technology. We were early adopters of rooftop solar with a 2.7 MW system and nearly every aspect of the facility is industry leading. Up to 10% of the plant’s power comes from “green energy” generation and our goal is to be 100% renewable electricity for all of our US operations by 2025.
