Certifications and Documentation

As the markets and customer tastes have changed, it’s become even more important to let the consumer know what they can expect from growers.

Consumers are getting more savvy and curious about the food they provide for their families. In turn, the companies we sell our crops want to provide that piece of mind to their customers. In order to stay competitive and assure the public Gold Dust & Walker Farms provide, high quality, safe food, we voluntarily take part in several certification programs.

Gold Dust & Walker Farms are a part of the following certification programs. To learn more about them, please see below.

USDA Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) For years, Gold Dust & Walker Farms have participated in the USDA GAP program. We voluntarily open our fields and facilities to audits from the USDA to show we’re complying with industry recognized food safety practices.
