CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLY GROWN by SCS Global Services

It took years of hard work, planning and preparation for Peri & Sons Farms became the first domestic, onion farming operation to achieve the Sustainably Grown certification from SCS Global Services (SCS). The certification, issued in January 2016, by SCS in accordance with the producer requirements of its Sustainably Grown standard, meets some of the world’s highest environmental, social and economic criteria. Achieving the certification through a stringent third-party audit requires an unwavering, company-wide commitment to the mission. We continue to uphold this important certification today.

CERTIFIED USDA ORGANIC

Year-after-year since 2006 our onions have been Certified USDA Organic by Organic Certifiers--https://organiccertifiers.com. Peri & Sons Farms ORGANIC Sweetie Sweet onions continually meet, or even exceed, National Organic Program standards in accordance with the USDA’s and the EU’s strict government standards, procedures and regulations.

Packed with flavor and nutritional value, our organic onions also provide peace–of–mind in knowing they are domestically grown and not imported from countries with little-to-no organic standards.

NO GMO FARM

At Peri & Sons Farms we take immense pride in being able to state that all of our onions, including Sweetie Sweet, are Non-Genetically Modified (GMO). We are a NO GMO farm operation. Our SCS Sustainable Farm certification ensures that no GMO products are involved in any way in our farming operation.

GMO foods/crops are ones that have had specific changes introduced in their DNA, using the methods of genetic engineering and which cannot occur naturally. In recent years GMO foods have become a popular topic of discussion and debate. As a family-owned company we totally understand these concerns and the need to know more.

We understand that growing fresh produce comes with enormous social responsibility and we take that very seriously -- from the very top of the company on down.

To meet this responsibility, we have a food-safety department dedicated to upholding the SCS Global Services Certification process which entails following a rigorous protocol for growing produce in a natural, clean, safe and responsible way. GFSI/GLOBAL G.A.P. certification--a level of certification not many farms are able to achieve― allows us to sell anywhere in the world and it ensures a daily practice of specific hygiene is followed.
