OUR SUSTAINABILITY

Responsibly grown and sourced.

Generational farms succeed because owners understand the importance of sustainability. Every Burnette Foods facility is ecologically sound, using water and energy reduction practices, recycling packaging materials from corrugated to tin, upcycling fruit pits, and creating livestock feed out of by-product.
