Eliminating our Carbon Footprint, One Step at a Time

At SunSelect, we take our responsibility to our customers, our families and the environment seriously. In fact, by curbing our global warming emissions and eliminating our carbon footprint, we were able to introduce the very first certified climate friendly produce into the marketplace!

We have made significant capital investments into our 70 acres of now state-of-the-art greenhouses to reduce our energy use and decrease our carbon dioxide emissions. Our carbon neutral strategies have allowed us to switch from non-renewable natural gas to a renewable biomass to meet our heating needs. This process only releases the same amount of CO2e into the air that would be released when the plant decomposes naturally. And because the wood waste used in this process is collected from a local sawmill and negates use of natural gas, the displaced gas consumption constitutes an additional emissions reduction. This allows us to grow safe, delicious and healthy vegetables without causing damage to the environment.

Our peppers are certified climate friendly. SunSelect balances the carbon dioxide emitted from delivery of products to our customers with the reduction of our carbon footprint in our production methods.

We believe our production methods make our local food production more viable, boosts the regional economy and reduces the need to import food from far away.
