responsible growing practices

Protecting the environment while producing our harvest has always been important to 4Earth Farms and our farming partners. We believe in being good stewards of our planet while producing its bounty.

 

Our commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by our proactive approach to reducing pesticide and herbicide use on our farms. We continuously explore and implement new and existing farming techniques, applying many of our organic farming practices to our conventional farms. This helps us significantly reduce our reliance on non-organic farming inputs. 

LISA

Our farming practices include Low Input Sustainable Agricultural techniques, also known as “LISA,” which strive to keep our farms as natural as possible. We also use predator insects and “soft pesticides” that target harmful pests but don’t hurt beneficial insect populations. We use modern drip irrigation technology to preserve water and minimize soil erosion.

 

Responsible farming, sustainable practices, safe and wholesome produce—these are not simply goals for us… they are our tenants.

carbon footprint reductions

We are always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint.

 

Our state-of-the-art facility features cutting-edge “green” technologies, including energy-saving water treatment, refrigeration systems, and power generation utilizing our 2568 solar panels. 

recycling

4Earth Farms utilizes earth-friendly field boxes and recycling hundreds of thousands of pounds of corrugate every year. In many of our fields, we use Reusable Plastic Containers (RPCs) in place of corrugate.
