WE WANT TO DO MORE THAN JUST ORGANIC

WE RELY ON PURE NATURAL PRODUCTS

BECAUSE NATURE IS OUR BEST SUPPLIER

Our natural products do not need an organic label to convince with the highest quality, purity and taste. This is because they grow wild in nature or are voluntarily cultivated by the farmers under ideal conditions. For raw materials that should be subject to control due to their origin and cultivation, the organic label ensures the quality standard that we want.

GutVertrauen stands for the fact that we check the majority of our raw materials for our products - conventional and organic - on site and import them directly ourselves. In this way, we check the use of pesticides as well as the purity and hygiene conditions directly at the place of origin and during transportation. Our aim is to maintain the best overall conditions for the raw materials of our products. We know exactly what is in our brand.

ORGANIC PRODUCTS FROM FARMER'S SNACK

We see organic products* as part of our commitment to sustainability, but we want to go beyond that! GutVertrauen stands for the fact that we pay attention to the highest quality in all areas, question common standards and set ourselves the highest goals.

Farmer's Snack does not want to be absolute, we do not want to offer only organic or only conventional products. What does that mean? We look at the interplay between quality, price and consumer benefit for every product.

Many nut kernels and fruits grow wild in nature, are cultivated and harvested traditionally and naturally without additives during growth. As mentioned above, our aim with the Farmer's Snack brand is to offer products that are natural and taste great.

We purchase fruit from non-controlled organic cultivation (conventional) if the quality standard we have set for controlled organic cultivation (organic) is not met. Possible reasons for this may include significantly more difficult and cost-intensive cultivation, fruit quality and taste.

We place branded products from controlled organic cultivation if we see a benefit in the quality of the goods and the taste. Always in line with our company's hygiene standards.

This means that if an organic raw material convinces us in all respects, we include it in our range permanently. For example, our brand range includes apricots, bananas and mangoes from controlled organic cultivation*. In 2021, we added organic cranberries, organic plums, organic dates, organic cherries and organic trail mix. Organic cashew, organic walnut and organic nut mix with Brazil nut followed in 2022.

For us, one thing is very clear: an organic product should and must not cost more than a conventional one for no reason. And what we also need to talk about: An organic certificate does not automatically bring the best quality in dried fruit and nut kernels. A seal for organic products does not necessarily guarantee purity and hygiene in processing - but cleanliness is just as important to us as the control of pesticides.
