From field to fork we go to great lengths to ensure our berries are consistently delicious and safe, and we take great pride in our high-quality berries.

As part of our food safety program, California Giant Berry Farms employs third-party auditors to ensure Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) are followed by all growers. We diligently monitor for any possible risk to ensure we grow and harvest the safest berries for you.

Our food safety program validates and verifies information and documentation on soil testing, water testing, trace back capabilities and more.

We conduct regular training programs with our harvesting crews, growers and Food Safety team members on food safety practices and industry guidelines.

All California Giant Berry Farms growers go above and beyond the guidelines to mitigate the risk of microbial contamination. In addition, California Giant Berry Farms employs third-party auditors to ensure our growers are always in compliance with GAPs and regulatory requirements.
