ABOUT US NEWS / RECIPES CONTACT SEARCH INNOVATION FOR GENERATIONS. RAISED WITH OUR HANDS IN THE DIRT AND EYES ON THE FUTURE. Every generation of Boskovich farmers back to 1915 has come up with innovations that have made them more productive and helped produce higher quality products. It also helped preserve the life that we have loved. Discoveries have included everything from stemming soil depletion to creating the first 100% home compostable packaging. And we are proud of that. Not because our farm depended on that kind of breakthrough thinking for survival, but because the next generation does. OUR COMPANIES.

WHAT WE’VE LEARNED AND HOW WE’VE ADAPTED. Stephen Boskovich started his farm in the San Fernando Valley in 1915. Between then and now we’ve grown from a 7-acre plot to more than 18,000 growing acres in California, Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. We’ve expanded our produce offerings to over 150 items. We ushered in a 12-month growing season. And we were early pioneers in adapting to lifestyle changes and the need for fresh cut produce … a major innovation benefitting both busy families and foodservice clients. We consolidated headquarters and our fresh cut packing operation for the sake of economy and efficiency. We’ve learned everything there is to know (so far) about land management and sustainability, adding an organic line. And we’re tackling the crisis of overflowing landfills with new compostable packaging. Plus a lot more.

SUSTAINABILITY Definition of Sustainability: Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, 2009 “Our commitment to sustainability for the earth, the people and the environment is something that I take seriously. As I look to the future of Fresh Prep and our ability to make a difference …not just today, but for tomorrow … it’s clear that sustainable packaging will play a critical role in the future of produce. More convenience usually equates to more packaging that goes into the landfill and takes centuries to compost. Our newest innovation in Fair Earth Farms fully compostable packaging is designed to address this growing issue and its a key element to our overall sustainability program.” – GEORGE BOSKOVICH III, CEO OF FRESH PREP BOSKOVICH 6 PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY About Us Boskovich Family Farms Products B Organic Products Fresh Prep Products Terms of Use Privacy Policy News / Recipes Contact WE NEVER STOP GROWING ™ © Boskovich Farms 2021
