FOOD & FARM SAFETY

The best products follow best practices.

When you’re enjoying our food, we want you to feel confident that we have your safety top-of-mind. That’s our commitment to you—and honestly, why would we ever compromise food this good?

SO WE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS, AS OUR CHECKLIST SHOWS:

  • Juneberry Ridge greenhouses are USDA Harmonized GAP* Standard-certified for all the products we sell now: butterhead lettuce, living basil, cut basil and cut chives.
  • Our well water and aquaponic water is tested for e. coli at least once a month.
  • Our aquaponics system uses several types of mechanical filtration for our fish water, along a UV sterilizer to eliminate possible pathogens, before it is taken from the fish tanks to irrigate our plant beds.
  • Our greenhouse team is regularly trained, and re-trained, on proper food handling and safe harvest practices, including quarterly reviews of sanitation practices.
  • Our workers are prohibited from coming to work with symptoms that suggest an illness transmittable to food.
  • We also don’t allow guests to tour the facilities if they’ve had any of these symptoms within 24 hours (if you’ll excuse the unpleasant specifics): diarrhea, vomiting, jaundice, sore throat with fever, or infected wounds or pustules on their exposed hands or wrists.
  • We have a full-time Food Safety Program Manager to rigorously implement the current best practices in food safety.
