At Continental Floral Greens, we’re thrilled to announce our recent certification of our California farms under the Fair Food Program! This milestone reflects our commitment to ethical farming and the highest standards in farmworker rights and welfare. Our certification currently covers eucalyptus and other foliage cultivated on our California farms, and we’re already working toward expanding this program to our other farm locations.
The Fair Food Program (FFP) is a unique partnership that brings together farms, retailers, and consumers to promote safe and fair working conditions in agriculture. Founded to improve the lives of farmworkers, the FFP sets rigorous standards, ensuring fair wages, zero tolerance for harassment and abuse, and safe working environments across certified farms. This program is recognized nationally for its transformative impact, providing farmworkers with protections and a platform to voice concerns without fear of retaliation.
Achieving this certification goes beyond meeting a standard; it’s a testament to three of our core values: Do the Right Thing, Respect, and Always Improving. Centered on our belief that People are our Greatest Asset, our Fair Food certification strengthens our commitment to fair treatment and deep respect for the people who are the backbone of our operations. By embedding these principles at every stage of production, we’re not only investing in our team but also building a more ethical and equitable future for the floral and foliage industry.
Our Fair Food Program certification directly affects the work culture and quality of life for our team members on our California farms. With an emphasis on safe working conditions, fair compensation, and essential protections, we can offer a workplace where team members feel valued, respected, and empowered. We see this as a key step in cultivating not only high-quality foliage but also a sense of pride and responsibility within our community.
When you purchase products from our Fair Food-certified farms, you’re not only getting beautiful, high-quality greenery but also supporting a sustainable and ethically produced product. By choosing products with the Fair Food Program logo, you’re supporting our commitment to fair practices and enhancing the well-being of the farmworkers who harvested and packaged these items.
We’re excited to continue growing this program and hope you’ll join us in supporting fair, responsible practices across the floral industry. Look for the Fair Food Program logo on products in your area grocery stores, and know that you’re contributing to a healthier, more equitable supply chain.
