| Environmental Stewardship/Sustainability |
| We take our environmental responsibility very seriously at Shoreline Fruit. The importance of working alongside nature is emphasized by our location in the Great Lakes region of North America—the world’s largest source of fresh water. Virtually nothing is wasted as we reuse, recycle and repurpose our resources. Environmentally safe pest control, integrated pest management and alternate row and border spraying minimize pesticide and fungicide use by as much as 70 percent. Water is reused in processing then reclaimed for underground irrigation. Pits are dried for use as an efficient source of fuel. Ecologically sound proprietary processes enable us to reduce energy usage. In the orchard or the processing plant, every decision we make is designed to raise the quality of our product while lowering our impact on the earth. |
