At Driscoll's, we are passionate about the organic berries we offer consumers. They’re great tasting berries that meet our mission to continually delight berry consumers. The commitment to increase organic production is one of the core objectives of the company and goes beyond filling a marketing niche.
Our farmers grow Driscoll's organic berries using time proven natural cultivation techniques that carefully balance weather, soil, pests and disease pressure using organic production practices such as crop rotation, natural and approved fertilizers, as well as pest management methods that include the use of predator insects.
Driscoll's develops superior berry varieties grown by our family of trusted, independent farmers throughout the world to produce a truly delightful eating experience with every Driscoll's berry.
Driscoll's farmers strive for sustainability by utilizing what we learn from organic production in all of our production systems. Our independent farmers share knowledge, recognizing that sustainability is in everyone's best interest.
We use the experience we have gained through years of plant breeding (see plant breeding video) to develop berries that will perform better in an organic farming environment. We cross-pollinate berries the way nature does to develop our superior, proprietary varieties.
We breed berry plants that are naturally more resistant to diseases and pests. New seedlings are tested under organic farming conditions to ensure that they will produce delightfully delicious berries in the most environmentally sensitive way possible.
Our berries are not genetically modified in any way and are never subjected to irradiation.
Driscoll's organic berries meet all of the requirements of the USDA National Organics Standards for organic food production and labeling and are certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). CCOF is one of the oldest and most respected certification agencies in the US. Driscoll's has been a CCOF Member since 1997. We are members of the Organic Trade Association, a cornerstone supporter of the Organic Center and support the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Agroecology Center.
