Environmental Sustainability | Sunripe Certified Brands

Our natural resources mean everything to us, because without them, the Sunripe Certified Brands story wouldn’t exist. And when something means that much to you, you do everything you can to nurture and protect it. That’s why sustainable farming practices have always been a part of our company’s DNA. We take a holistic approach to caring for our land and water resources to ensure our ability to produce the highest quality crops, while effectively minimizing farming inputs, and supporting the communities and wildlife that live around us.

Water Usage

Sunripe Certified Brands uses advanced technologies to minimize water usage, and we work with local water management districts to tightly manage our use of this public resource.

Integrated Pest Management

Sunripe Certified Brands employs an integrated pest management program to effectively suppress pest population and maximize crop output while minimizing ecosystem impact.

Fertilization

By closely monitoring weather conditions, soil conditions and plant health, we are able to match our fertilizer program to achieve maximum crop quality and yield with minimal inputs.

Composting

Utilizing the yard waste from local municipalities, Sunripe operates a large scale composting plant in Parrish, FL that provides organic mulch for our numerous farming operations.

Wildlife Preservation

We maintain natural habitat on approximately 50% of our total land holdings. Animals that make their home in these protected areas include turkeys, panthers, deer, bears, alligators, and many bird species.

Recycled Packaging

When it comes to packaging, our boxes are composed of 100% recycled materials, and our plastic clamshells are PET, which means they can be easily recycled after use as well. By using 100% recycled cardboard, we are able to save around 4,000 KWH of power, 7,000 gallons of water, and one ton of CO2 every year. These adjustments contribute to a greater effort of doing the right thing for our environment with sustainable farming efforts.
