Contract growing
Certified open field vegetables
All our contract growers in Finland are FSA certified and all our contract growers in Sweden are IP Sigill certified.
We has developed the Apetit Farming method through long-term cooperation with our contract farmers.
Apetit Farming method
- the cultivation quantities agreed annually with the contract farmers
- general principles of cultivation, quality and product safety and environmental management
- crop-specific cultivation guidelines and principles
- plant protection measures only for identified needs
- documentation of cultivation measures in the cultivation system
- traceability of vegetables on a batch-by-batch basis to the field
- documentation: cultivation history for varieties, preceding crops and crop rotation, measures taken and soil information, as well as the results of previous harvests to assist in the development of cultivation methods
- continuous development work at Apetit’s Räpi experimental farm in terms of both methods and varieties
