Sustainability
Reduce. Reuse. Rejoice!
As a fourth generation family farming company we are committed to continually improving the health of our land, vibrancy of our communities and quality of our products. We operate in a diverse mix of growing regions and understand how to maintain a balance with nature while providing a consistent supply of fresh, healthy vegetables to consumers around the globe.
Foxy owners, the Nunes family, work in all aspects of the business including sales, growing, harvesting, cooling and shipping, and all employees have access to the Nunes Family on a daily basis.
In 2005 we started the process of transitioning our land into organic production. This year, over 25 percent of our total crop output will be grown organically with more land transitioning every year!
sustainable farming
The health of our plants and safety of our produce starts with the health of our land and vitality of our soil. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, use of drip irrigation and water quality monitoring programs help us stay connected to the needs of the environment and work in balance with nature.
reducing our impact
reduced weight of packaging by 750,000 lbs. / year
Through design modifications we have reduced the weight of our packaging materials by approximately three-quarters of a million pounds per year. We have increased the use of reusable pallets and RPC’s and have reduced solid waste by 95%.
