YERINGTON, NV - Peri & Sons Farms® has a deeply rooted culture of sustainable farming that took hold long before being earth-friendly became popular.
Back in 1967, David Peri’s father was honored as Conservationist of the Year for proving to be a good steward of the land and working to preserve the farm for generations to come. Over the years, we’ve come to understand that sustainability is not about one big thing. Sustainability is about a Million Little Things. It’s a continuously evolving process of improvements, adjustments, experimentation, and innovation.
Here are the ways we are working toward our Goal of Net Carbon Neutrality:
Paper Reduction - The farm transitioned to an online work application system saving over 760,000 pages of paper a year! That’s roughly 76 trees saved, annually
Replacing Plastic - All of Peri’s USDA Certified Organic Onions will be packed in 100 percent plastic-free, biodegradable, recyclable, and compostable Earthbags®
Paper Clamshells - Our Gourmet Organic Shallots, Cipollinis, and Garlic are packaged in non-plastic clamshells that are biodegradable and compostable
Minimizing Plastic - Adjustments to our consumer bags have kept about 180 football fields of packaging material out of landfills annually since 2021
Carbon Footprint - We’re supporting Net-Zero initiatives, such native land restoration, The Cookstove® Project, and the One Tree Planted® program, as part of our carbon offsetting strategy
Utilize Effectively - Our farm team is Recycling things like drip tape, cardboard, and pallets and we are Repurposing oils, metals, and more in our workshops, right on the farm, rather than trashing them
As an official “Certified Sustainable Farm” since 2005, we’re dedicated to cultivating a thriving, wholesome farming business that’s good for people and the planet, now and for the future.
