To Victor, the
word organic doesn't just mean that a product is grown without the use of
chemicals. It means meeting a strict set of guidelines set by not only the
USDA but also Victor Packing standards.
Our raisins are produced
differently than ordinary non-organic raisins. For instance, Victor
Guaranteed Raisins are grown in soil that has been chemical-free for at
least 3 years prior to crop harvest. We fertilize with only composted
organic materials and green manures, instead of synthetic chemical
fertilizers. Weeds are controlled by hand or mechanical methods and
insects are controlled by the use of predatory insects instead of chemical
insecticides. And we sun-dry our grapes... in the field.
In addition to processing and packaging essentially every variety of organic raisins, Victor Packing also offers organic raisin paste. Victor Packing is certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), a USDA accredited organic certifying agency and trade association, and ships organic raisins to countries throughout the world.
Victor
Guaranteed Organic raisins are grown as naturally and chemically-free as
possible. We exceed the industry's most strict quality guidelines and
constantly strive to set new standards.
