Sustainability
Grove Fruit Growers incorporates good agriculture practices (GAP), integrated pest management systems, and healthy soils to avoid disease, minimize pests, and ensure high yielding, top quality fruit.
Beyond farming sustainability, we believe in training and supporting our on-site Cambodian farming team. We pay our farmers a living wage, provide each team member with a nourishing food staple program, and offer comfortable housing for our farmers and their families. The health and well-being of our farm team is paramount to our long-term sustainability and the success of our farms.
GROVE OPERATES OUR FARMS USING SUSTAINABLE FARM MANAGEMENT PRACTICES:
Good Agriculture Practices
Our farm practices meet international standards. We have implemented GAP standards during the growing season, and postharvest handling processing on our farm and within our cooperative.
Integrated Pest Management
Our pest management plan includes utilizing preventative non-chemical programs to mitigate pests. When pesticides are required, care is taken to minimize use to the greatest extent possible.
Integrated Pest Management
Our pest management plan includes utilizing preventative non-chemical programs to mitigate pest on our orchards. When pesticides are required, care is taken to minimize use to the greatest extent possible.
Healthy Soils
By utilizing a no-till soil management program, our soils retain moisture resulting in less need for scarce water resources. Our soil practices minimize erosion and soil compaction which makes our fields healthier and more productive leading to higher crop yields.
Technology
Our farm programs are managed and tracked by using Fieldmargin tracking applications, drone technology and satellite monitoring. Using technology to effectively and efficiently monitor farm operations allows for open communication and quick responses to issues related to water, pests, fertilizer, and yield monitoring.
