Washington-based Rainier Fruit has partnered with Equitable Food Initiative to begin training and move toward formally certifying its largest farm of more than 2,300 acres. This will include a full manifest of EFI certified organic and conventional apples, organic cherries and organic blueberries. In turn it will make the companies’ first EFI certified establishment in Washington State’s fruit industry.
“We have enjoyed working with EFI. Over the past three years we have been excited to formalize the relationship and proceed with certification,” said CEO Mark Zirkle. “As a company focused on our employees, our processes, and rooted in a commitment to excellence. The EFI program offers a level of shared values and integrity our customers have come to expect from Rainier.”
