Why are Our Soil Health Standards Important?

We do not require our food producers to be organically certified, but we do require our farmers, ranchers, and added value products to use organic and beyond practices. This means no pesticides or herbicides are being used, and our network is focused on building better soil health every year. We verify their practices through on-site farm tours and on-site distribution center qualitative testing, and provide them regular education on the latest in soil biology and regenerative farming systems. Our business is focused on connecting soil health and human health, and we will not take shortcuts. Explore topics about how soil health connects to topics like climate change, flavor and human health in our reference desk.
