It’s clear that Prop 37 is making national waves.  It’s also time for Monsanto and the other ‘chemical/pesticide’ companies supporting the NO campaign to listen to the people.  Here’s another informative, lucid article that will help you understand what PROP 37 is about.

We want to thank all of the individuals and companies nationwide that are taking an interest in PROP 37 and want to remind all California voters to VOTE YES on Prop 37.

SunRidge Farms cherishes the memory of those lost on this day in 2001.  We hope that you will take a moment to reflect on the impact this moment had for all of us alive that witnessed that event and make a promise to never forget.  To all the first responders, volunteers, and families directly impacted we also wish to extend our gratitude and respect for your service.

Why would a company that is so sure of it’s products be afraid of PROP 37?  Doesn’t make sense, does it?  Makes me wonder what they want to hide…

Take a look at this story which outlines Monsanto’s efforts outside the USA to support labeling.  If Monsanto is truly unafraid of their products, then it’s time for them to stick to their original stance and support labeling.  http://www.triplepundit.com/2012/09/monsanto-gmo-food-labeling-before-against/

California Voters – Please VOTE YES on Prop 37 this November.

We found this well written story in the Record Searchlight of Redding.  The author, Trudi Pratt, provides a clear and concise piece on this important measure and the fight that’s ahead.  What is most poignant is that 9 of 10 Californians want to know what’s in their food.

If you are a California Voter reading this, please do your part to protect yourself and family by voting YES on Prop 37 this November. 

“We have a very simple way of looking at GM: listen to what the

consumer wants. If they don’t want it in products, you don’t put it in

them,” said Hans Jor, corporate head of sustainable agriculture at Nestle, according to Food Production Daily.

This is Nestle’s public stance, yet they’ve just donated $1.16 Million to the opponents of Prop 37.  Confused yet???  This is also what Mr. Jor said, “genetically modified food is unnecessary to feed the world and the food

industry would reap more benefits from using resources more sustainably

and employing other techniques.”

California Voters – PLEASE VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November.

Two of the largest contributors to the opposition of Prop 37 are Monsanto and DuPont.  Now why wouldn’t they want you to know what is in your food???  Could it be that they are chemical companies???   Those same ‘safe’ chemicals that have poisoned our bodies, environments, and negatively impacted our food chain.  Let’s hear the facts:

CALIFORNIA VOTERS – Please join us in VOTING YES on PROP 37 this November.

We’re getting bombarded by disinformation in the news as pushed by the opponents of Prop 37.  This is what we expected and why we’re working so hard to give you accurate information to help you decide what makes the most sense for you and your family.  Just today our local paper, The Santa Cruz Sentinel, published a story on a recent Stanford University study, that discussed the nutritional differences in conventional foods versus organic foods. How is that related to Prop 37?  The answer to that question is – It’s NOT.   It’s another attempt at confusing the issue and it’s disappointing that this study was released at this time. Prop 37 is not about the differences in the nutritional values of Organic versus Conventional foods.  It’s about labeling and providing the consumer the information of whether or not the foods we are buying contain GMO ingredients.  The use of non GMO seeds to grow crops conventionally or organically would be a farming decision and provide an apples to apples comparison to the nutritional concerns that are referenced in that Stanford study.  However, the real concerns are those of using GMO crops and their impact in the body as well as the surrounding environment.

Please take a look at the GMO myths and truths document that we have in PDF format below.  It’s one of the best written and explanatory papers on the dangers of GMO’s.  It’s information that you’ll want to share with anyone you care about.

As always, we appreciate your support of our business’ Mission and Philosophy.

Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November.
