"We're taking the model that's been so successful for us in organic salads and vegetables and applying it in earnest to organic fruit--building a network of certified organic growers who strictly abide by regulated and inspected organic practices while also adhering to our own organic integrity program and rigorous food safety protocols," said Charles Sweat, CEO for Earthbound Farm.
