Food Safety

Food safety is an integral part of the entire operation at Wiers Farm. All aspects including growing, harvesting, packing, cooling, warehousing, and shipping must be in compliance. It also includes non-production items such as training of employees and training materials. Wiers Farm has a state of the art food safety program employing Land DB and Famous tracking systems that allow Wiers Farm to trace packages from the field to the store warehouse.
Wiers Farm’s full time food safety team ensures that food safety policies are up to date and enforced. Food Safety is not a static program. It is dynamic in nature. Each and every meeting at Wiers Farm discusses Food Safety and each and every management action ensures that Food Safety not only fits comfortably into the overall objective of Wiers Farm, but that it is also understood and easily executed by all employees.
The goal of Wiers Farm is to institute a proactive food safety system for its growing, packing and cooling operation whereby any potential product hazards are anticipated and controlled at the highest possible standard all the way through distribution. Food safety and quality control is the responsibility of all the employees at Wiers Farm and affiliated service and product providers. Management has provided the tools and established guidelines for producing safe, wholesome, quality products. All employees are accountable for consistently maintaining the standards as stated in each and every Standard Operating Procedure.
The program has been established with the help of the company officers. Although the burden of food safety and quality control is in the hands of management and supervisors, all employees serve as inspectors when product moves through their area. Wiers Farm employees are authorized to hold or reject product found to be out of compliance, subject to the evaluation and final approval of authorized management.
