Food Safety & Certification
Certification support that holds up to scrutiny.
Food safety is not paperwork. It is the difference between keeping a program and losing one. Crop’t Fresh brings hands on food safety and certification experience to the farms we represent and the buyers we serve, so every load ships with the documentation behind it.
For growers: certification and audit support
The farms we represent hold one or more third party certifications, and we consult across all of them. Whether a farm is maintaining an existing audit or pursuing a new one, we help them get there and stay there.
