Going green – A natural complement our innovative nature
Our penchant for innovation and flexibility made this evolving
new product category a natural for us. In addition to our already
successful pesticide free blueberries, we could not be more excited
to introduce organic blueberries for the 2010 domestic season.
We’re committed to healthy and environmentally friendly growing
practices. And we pledge to bring you the latest in sustainable
farming and production techniques with our new product line.

available. The berries will be available beginning with
Florida production in March and continuing through

SunnyRidge Farm’s pesticide free blueberries are
certified pesticide free by Scientific Certification
Systems through their certification program introduced
in 1986 under the NutriClean® label.
We consider it quite an accomplishment since very few
blueberries have ever been certified pesticide-free due
to the level of difficulty.
Challenges are nothing new to us though. It took a
lot of innovation on our part just to grow blueberries
in Florida’s sandy soil! |
