The impact of the drought in California has been noticeable here in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area for several years.  Water, especially clean, drinkable water is a precious resource that we must protect.  Conservation efforts are necessary and applicable to all of us.  We hope you’ll join SunRidge Farms in taking active measures to reduce water waste and improve water use efficiency.  Here’s a link to Governor Brown’s action today – http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article17115506.html

SunRidge Farms is a manufacturer of bulk foods located in Royal Oaks, CA.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently announced that Monsanto’s glyphosphate, aka ‘Round UP’, probably causes cancer.  This is in addition to known impacts on kidney function and increased breathing rates.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes the credibility of the WHO and has stated that they will take into consideration the information produced by the WHO as they reevaluate glyphosphate and it’s safety.

SunRidge Farms is grateful for this new awareness and hopes that growers will seek out alternatives that are better for our environment.

Having worked with several farmers who have disabilities and enjoying their adaptability with raised farm beds and wheelchair accessible rows we’re excited to see this new farming possibility – http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/wyoming-startup-is-building-vertical-farm-to-employ-disabled/

Hopefully this will lead to more innovation!

When you think of bulk, big warehouse stores often come to mind.  A case of toilet paper, 25 pounds of laundry detergent, etc.   When WE think of bulk, it’s only about foods!  Even more, it’s about getting only as much food as you need or want.  You need 4 cups of almonds that’s simple to do.  You want to try a milk chocolate caramel cashew, you can put one in the bag.  Not only is that convenient but the cost of packaging has been reduced, the environmental waste is reduced, and the price is less. 

SunRidge Farms bulk foods can be found in grocers large and small across the USA.  From nuts and seeds, dried fruits, granola and cereals, snack and trail mixes, and our famous confections you are sure to find something that appeals to you.  Not only that – we don’t use artificial ingredients or ingredients, sugars are less refined, and many items are certified organic.  We’re certifying as many products as possible as NonGMO Project Verified.  With over 1300 available items, that process takes time but we feel it is absolutely worth doing.

To see what we have to offer, check out our products online and then when you head to the grocery store, start with their bulk food department and find your favorite SunRidge Farms item.

Bon appetit!

A variety of factors are influencing a shift in crop planting for 2015.  More farmers are seeking out Non-GMO seed for corn and soybean as prices pressures, increased market needs, and increased pesticide/herbicide use come together and force a hard look at profitability and sustainability.   Here’s a report from MSN Money – http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/fields-of-gold-non-gmo-farming/ar-AA8Uppa?srcref=rss
