Question 4

Are your berries organic?

Accepted Answer

We are not a certified organic farm, but the Hoffman Family uses the most sustainable farming methods possible.

Question 5

Do you spray your berries?

Accepted Answer

Hoffman Farms Store is a family farming operation and we are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality fruit possible in a safe, clean field environment. Food Safety is our highest priority. Each year, our farm participates in a third-party audit conducted by PrimusGFSI, which provides us with GAP/GMP certifications - the highest Food Safety certifications in the produce industry. We are not a certified organic farm, but we use the most sustainable farming practices possible for our large-scale operation. Throughout the growing season, we use an integrated pest management program (IPM), which includes field scouting and noise machines in the field. As part of our IPM, we apply limited amounts of crop protectants to ensure healthy plants and berries, although we do this on an as-needed basis. Our family works diligently to use only minimal amounts of crop protectants, because we also enjoy picking and eating the fruit we grow on our farm! Short answer: We are not organic. We are a sustainable commercial-scale family business striving to produce the BEST fruit for your family as well as our own.
