Pacific Gold Farms began farming organically
grown strawberries in 1999. To be recognized as certified
organic, the soil must be farmed without the use of man-made
chemicals for three full years.
Our organic farms receive certification from Quality Assurance
International, a certifying Board that utilizes criteria
and guidelines established by the USDA national organic
program. Pacific Gold Farms partners with Quality Assurance
International for organic certification because they maintain
the highest standards for organic farming in the United
States. We are proud to say that both our fruiting fields
and cooler operations are certified organic.
Organic farming remains a very challenging process for
farmers today, requiring increased innovation and day-to-day
diligence in the field. However, it has become more of a
mainstream practice for Pacific Gold Farms — producing
high quality and flavorful fruit.
By offering organic strawberries, we can provide additional
choices for consumers. Our organic strawberries are available
in a variety of pack styles throughout the growing season
including eight-ounce containers, one-pound containers and
the traditional pint baskets.
