The Sunripe Certified Brands community includes our employees, neighbors, and the towns and cities where we live, work, and play. Our continued success depends on a vibrant, healthy, stable community and economic opportunities that will attract and retain current and future generations of employees and their families. Every Sunripe Certified Brands employee is a valued extension of our families, and we encourage healthy lifestyles and continuing education for our employees and their families by hosting health fairs, funding scholarships, and more.
Feria de Salud
Each year, Sunripe Certified Brands hosts a Health Fair to provide our employees with valuable community health resources and free preventative services. Working with local health providers in the area, we bring over 800 employees and family members free services including eye exams, dental exams, flu shots, glucose testing and nutritional information that they may not otherwise have access to. In addition to the preventative health services, health fair attendees enjoy food, music, activities and games.
Sunripe Migrant Scholarship Fund
The Sunripe Migrant Scholarship Fund (SMSF) was established over 20 years ago with the intention of creating a valuable tool, not only for Sunripe Certified Brand’s workforce, but also for the agricultural industry at large. Now an endowment at the University of South Florida, Sunripe Certified Brands’ SMSF still provides underserved students with access to educational opportunities.
Labor Training Programs
Several years ago, when we recognized the lack of agricultural training materials available on the topic of labor, we knew had to do something. We wanted to establish practices and procedures that would ensure the the safety of workers and fields.
To do this, we collaborated with The University of Florida (UF) to create a new curriculum of farm labor contractor training. Still offered regularly at UF, this curriculum benefits the industry at large every year. In fact, it’s proven so popular that frequently, students and agricultural operations visit our farms to grow in their understanding about agriculture in the state of Florida.
Over the years, we have also maintained an open relationship with UF and their agricultural educators, continuing to develop farm specific training materials. These material lives in UF’s library, where students and other agricultural operations access it as a resource for their own agricultural benefit.
Today we are proud to say the materials we have helped develop continue to inspire rich, productive, and safe work environments at agricultural operations across the state of Florida.
