Certified Family Owned – GRO

Growers – Ranchers – Orchards
by Seasonally Fresh

Our Mission

The mission of Seasonally Fresh’s Certified Family-Owned – GRO certification is to focus a spotlight on the dedicated families who focus their lives on raising our food. The tradition of families caring for the Nation food supply is an important one that should be celebrated.  That care is core to our mission to distinguish between companies that have their entire family focused on supplying the U.S. with food and companies who are structured as more traditional businesses.

Certified Family-Owned – GRO mark 

Created in 2019 by Seasonally Fresh, the criteria for the Certified Family-Owned – GRO mark is in alignment with the USDA definitions for family-owned agricultural businesses.  

The Certified Family-Owned – GRO Program is comprised of agricultural producers across the United States.  These include growers, ranchers, dairy farmers, beekeepers, orchard owners, and more.
