Reaching Consumers
[Sweet. Sustainable. Strawberries. ](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/sustainable-strawberrries)
[California Giant Berry Farm's](http://www.calgiant.com)dedication to sustainability led one of our grower partners to become the first strawberry grower in the world to achieve the [Sustainably Grown certification from SCS Global Services](https://www.scsglobalservices.com/services/sustainably-grown-certification) in 2020.
Our pilot program has inspired other California Giant growers to become Sustainably-Grown certified, and today we have a strategic goal to increase sustainability certifications by 50% of acreage in the next few years. Learn more about our Sustainably Grown certification in the video below.
