Description

We must be accountable and responsible in our production practices. Safe and healthy food can be produced while maintaining air, soil and water quality. We can meet human needs as well as those of nature. This can only be accomplished through the participation and commitment of everyone. We must all understand that there are consequences to the demands we place on the natural world. We must consider these consequences in our production practices and be committed to the preservation of natural systems.

Throughout our history and as we move into the future as a pioneer of sustainable practices and organic production, our success continues to be based on the production of high quality products with food safety and quality as our paramount goals.

Preparation for tomato planting actually takes place months and years ahead of the actual growing season as producers plan their crop rotation well in advance of a high value crop like this one. Advanced planning allows producers to best match other crops in the rotation both before and after tomatoes to take advantage of residue cover, pest cycles and available nutrients.

As growers and processors, we are taking the opportunity to add value to our product through the use of sound stewardship practices. Delivering on environmental stewardship in our production and processing is the first step on the path toward sustainability and in cultivating trust with our consumers.

As such, Utopia is more than a brand. It is a vision. It is not a place in the future, but a plan for the future. We believe our approach and path toward sustainable production and processing will make a difference for our environment and create an opportunity for growth in terms of not only our business and the success of our partners, but growth in our vision of how food can be produced to benefit all involved from producer to consumer.
