Regenerative Organic Certified® Pineapple origin story
WORKING WITH THE FARMERS
Sol Simple is proud to practice regenerative organic agriculture, a set of farming practices that goes beyond organic standards to regenerate natural resources rather than deplete them, while benefiting communities and their surroundings. We know our farmers by name and can trace back to where every morsel of organic and Regenerative Organic Certified® solar dried pineapple comes from.
PLanting
Our Regenerative Organic Certified® pineapples are grown in the nutrient-dense soil close to the base of the active Masaya volcano in Nicaragua. Our farmers use 100% regenerative organic farming techniques, which draw down atmospheric carbon into the soil to cool the earth.
HARVESTING
Our highly-experienced smallholder farming partners grow our Regenerative Organic Certified® pineapples throughout the year. These farmers know the precise timing to harvest the ripest, juiciest fruit.
COLLECTION CENTERS
The growers and Sol Organica staff carefully inspect and weigh each farmer's harvest where we review their account statements and progress towards bonuses or prizes from quality competitions between collection centers. Receipts are printed out for each grower at the time of collection. Manifests are also printed and sent along with the raw material to Sol Organica's loading dock.
FROM FARM TO TABLE
From seed to delighting our consumer's taste buds, we own and control every step of our supply and value chain from recruiting, training, and certifying farmers; to processing and drying our fruit with solar energy; to connecting our products to loyal consumers.
