Sustainability
Good Stewardship of the Land
A responsibility to practice good stewardship of the land through sound environmental practices is one of the hallmarks of the tradition we inherited.
Integrated Pest Management
The Safest Pesticides, in the Minimal Amount
We understand consumers’ concerns about pesticide residue in their food. We’re concerned about it, too. That’s why we use a program of Integrated Pest Management, which enables us to use the safest pesticides available and to use the minimal amount.
Independent testing
Going the Extra Mile
We send samples of our crops for independent testing of toxicity levels. We don’t have to do this, but we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that the food you eat is safe. Going the extra mile is a small price to pay.
Food safety
We Never Forget the Importance of Food Safety
We go beyond industry standards to ensure the utmost safety of our produce.
- On-going training in sanitation
- Vigilant cleaning of our packing and shipping facilities
- Using gloves for packing, even though that’s not the normal practice
Family heritage
Values Passed Down
The Henderson family homestead is a 40-acre farm nestled in the Green River Cove area of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is a special place for us, a place that reminds us of the values passed down from one generation of our family to the next.
