At CRJ Produce, we believe sustainability isn’t just an ideal—it’s a necessity. For decades, we’ve supplied premium wholesale fruits and vegetables to chefs, restaurants, and food businesses across California. Beyond quality produce, our mission is clear: eco-friendly farming in California that protects the planet for future generations. Through sustainable soil management, water conservation, and eco-conscious packaging, CRJ Produce is leading the way in environmentally responsible agriculture.
By championing sustainable soil management, water conservation techniques, and innovative packaging solutions, CRJ Produce has become a leader in sustainable produce in California. Learn how these three pillars form the foundation of our commitment to sustainability.
Sustainable Soil Management and Its Role in Produce Quality
Healthy soil is the foundation of any successful farming operation, and at CRJ Produce, we work with partner farms that prioritize sustainable soil management techniques. Exceptional produce quality starts with nutrient-dense, fertile soil. To ensure long-term soil health, our farming partners practice methods like crop rotation, cover cropping, and organic composting.
Building Healthier Ecosystems
Through crop rotation, we mitigate soil depletion and reduce the need for harmful synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, cover crops prevent soil erosion and act as natural fertilizers, enriching the land with organic matter. These methods not only produce healthier fruits and vegetables but also promote biodiversity within the ecosystem.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
Our soil management strategies also contribute to carbon sequestration, a process that captures atmospheric carbon and stores it underground. By fostering carbon-rich soil, CRJ Produce helps minimize greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining a regenerative approach to farming.
Water Conservation Techniques Used in Partner Farms
Water is one of California’s most precious resources, and CRJ Produce takes its stewardship seriously. Our partner farms employ cutting-edge water conservation practices to maximize efficiency and minimize waste in this drought-prone state.
Drip Irrigation Systems
Instead of traditional irrigation methods, which can waste large amounts of water, most of our farms use advanced drip irrigation systems. These systems deliver targeted hydration directly to plant roots, reducing water usage without compromising crop yields.
Rainwater Harvesting and Reuse
Several of our farms also incorporate rainwater harvesting systems, capturing and storing rainfall for future use. By reusing rainwater, we decrease reliance on public water supplies and create more sustainable farming practices in areas where water conservation is a critical concern.
Eco-Friendly Packaging and Distribution Practices
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at the farm; it extends across the entire supply chain. At CRJ Produce, we’ve taken proactive steps to reduce waste and implement eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Recyclable and Biodegradable Packaging
We’ve carefully selected packaging materials that are recyclable or biodegradable, ensuring our operations produce less landfill waste. Additionally, we avoid unnecessary excess packaging, offering wholesale buyers efficient, environmentally responsible solutions without compromising food safety.
Reduced Transportation Footprint
To further reduce our environmental impact, we optimize distribution routes, using fuel-efficient methods to minimize emissions during delivery. This not only helps our operation stay environmentally conscious but also ensures our clients receive fresh produce in a timely manner.
