Why Retailers Choose Naturipe
Remember when strawberries were only available for a limited time in the summer months? At Naturipe Farms, we knew that it wasn’t enough – so we’ve established a network of growers in Mexico, California, and most recently, Florida, who keep strawberry supplies consistent year-round. By working with growers across a mix of regions, we’re able to take advantage of growing conditions at their peak and transition to new crops as volumes lower, thus ensuring steady volumes for retailers year-round – especially during peak promotional windows and holiday demand.
Naturipe is proud to be a leader in varietal innovation – our work goes beyond premium offerings with the help of a designated breeding program that enhances each and every berry we grow, including standard conventional and organic packs. Some of our standout varietals even make their debut in standard packs rather than premium ones!
While premium varieties come with a certain level of guaranteed consistency and elevated specifications, we invest equally in improving offerings for all strawberries. In doing so, we ensure that every pack delivers exceptional flavor and freshness, enhancing the strawberry experience for everyone.
Trust & Transparency
Strawberries require a very specific set of growing conditions, only available in a handful of regions. During the day, they thrive in moderately warm weather, while at night, they prefer slightly cooler temperatures – it’s how they develop that sweet flavor that customers love. Overall, strawberries rely on steady temperatures, without major fluctuations towards being too warm or too cold. Our growers in California, Florida, and Mexico meet this criteria.
Our growers work across North and South America to maintain a steady supply of berries.
Despite similarities in temperature, growing in a mix of regions is important for Naturipe’s business. No matter what is going on in one area – inclement weather, volume shortages, or just the changing of seasons – another is ready to fill the demand for strawberries. Naturipe Farms is proud of our capability to provide product year-round, meeting any and all retailer needs.
Sustainability in Action
We like to refer to strawberries as a zero waste plant. When we harvest strawberries, we carefully remove and set aside any berries that aren’t suitable for customers. We then take those berries, as well as all the leaves, stems, and other natural debris that comes with harvesting, and reenter it into the soil as compost.
Packaging Waste Reduction
When it’s time to package up strawberries, some of our clamshells use a special heat seal, which helps to reduce plastic in packaging. Our strawberry growers have received several certifications signifying the positive environmental impact of our efforts.
Holistic Approach
When it comes to farming strawberries, our growers take a holistic approach, focusing on the entire ecosystem. Key elements of this dynamic system are the health of our soil and essential pollinators. Even though strawberries self-pollinate, our growers understand the importance of protecting pollinators. We are very proud to be one of the first produce companies to adopt IFPA Ethical Charter Implementation Program for Responsible Labor Practices.
Certified Renewable
When it’s time to pack up our fresh strawberries, a large percentage of our cooling and greenhouse operations are powered with renewable energy. And the very package our strawberries are sold in is made with post-consumer (curbside) recycled content, sometimes up to 50% and has been optimized for recycling.
