It is hard to imagine that when Andrea and Stefano D’Arrigo's father shipped

their broccoli seeds to San Jose, California from Italy in the 1920's, this

delicious and nutritious mainstay was virtually unknown in America. Per a

Harvard Study₁ D’Arrigo Brothers Company, was the first firm documented

to brand fresh vegetables (Broccoli and Celery) in the summer of 1946

under the Andy Boy label. Along with Broccoli, the D’Arrigo family brought a

family passion for growing fresh vegetables that has continued through today.

D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California (Andy Boy Label) is a family-owned company

specializing in Artichokes, Broccoli, Butter Lettuce, Cactus Pears, Cauliflower,

Fennel, Green Leaf, Iceberg Lettuce, Iced Broccoli Rabe, Iceless Broccoli

Rabe, Nopalitos, Organic Romaine Hearts, Red Leaf, Romaine, Romaine

Hearts, and Shrink-Wrap Broccoli. Andy Boy is in the business of bringing

healthy products to families here at home and around the world. We take great

pride in the perfection of nature’s greatest bounty.

An integrated system of practices that cares for and protects our dependent food supply, enhances the environment, makes efficient use of nonrenewable resources, sustains the economic viability of farms and enhances the quality of life for all.

D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California has been a responsible steward of the land since 1920. We understand that what we are able to produce from the land is a direct result of how well we treat this precious asset. We will continue to champion solutions for tomorrow’s safe, accessible and nutritious food through our sustainable efforts.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

1. Sustainability PrinciplesD’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California is committed to being responsible stewards by:

• Making efficient use of non-renewable resources

• Sustaining the economic viability of farms

• Enhancing the environment and quality of life for all

2. Sustainability ProcessesConserving energy and protecting natural resource for future generations is a core value held at DAB from the fields to the executive offices. D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California grows, harvests, packs, cools and ships all of its own products, which affords the

company a high degree of control over its operations. With the goal to ensure product safety and quality, while minimizing energy and fuel use DAB consolidates its packaging, cooling and shipping facilities near the heart of its fields.

3. Sustainability PracticesBy consolidating and centrally locating its facilities, DAB significantly reduces the travel distance and time from field to facility. The company prioritizes traffic flow and efficiency when designing the new facility. From the moment a load of product arrives, employees monitor and manage the product and equipment to ensure quick, efficient cooling.

Top-of-the-line energy-efficient materials, equipment and lighting were selected during construction of the facility. Key efficiencies prioritized during construction included: installation of a leading-edge computer system; variable frequency drives on major cooling equipment; individual forced air tunnels; and automated doors to help maintain low temperatures.

The computer system alerts management when equipment is operating outside optimal ranges and can be monitored on-site and remotely at all times for maximum efficiency. In addition, the company has upgraded its cooler facility lighting systems to achieve 50% reduction of light bulb wattage.

4. Sustainability Performance MetricsKey D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California team members regularly review its electricity bills and use data with the utility company’s online tools. All equipment is inspected daily, and the staff has learned to “listen for problems” as part of a risk management program.

Since opening the facility, D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California has secured two independent energy audits at the facility to identify opportunities for improvement and to employ newly available technologies.

5. Sustainability ProgressThe executive team holds monthly strategic planning meetings to discuss timely business issues. Operational matters are addressed through ongoing informal meetings across the company. The executive team periodically discusses energy management during individual meetings with key management and staff.

Management and executive team members are active in industry committees at the local, state and federal levels. This proactive involvement and knowledge gained in the industry allows D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California to respond quickly to challenges and implement new ideas to best achieve company goals.

593 METRIC TONS OF C02 PREVENTED PER YEAR

123 CARS KEPT OFF THE ROAD EACH YEAR

84 TRIPS AROUND THE EARTH ELIMINATED

Since relocating and consolidating its cooler facilities closer to its farm fields the company has prevented more than 4,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions.

Highlights from a case study with SureHarvest:

Reducing the average distance trucks travel from field to cooler is equivalent to keeping 123 cars off the road each year.

D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California saves an estimated 300,000 truck-miles annually, enough to make 12 trips around the earth every year.



F O O D S A F E T Y

At D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California, we take food safety very seriously. Since we are completely vertically integrated, we have control from the time the seed is planted, until our product is loaded into our customers’ trucks and the doors have been closed. One benefit of having this complete control throughout the growing and harvesting process is that we know the history of the land and exactly what it took to produce the crop. We know which crews harvest on each of our ranches, what training they have received and to whom the harvested crop is shipped to on a daily basis.

All commodities that we produce and harvest are audited by independent third party auditing groups. Our commodities in the leafy greens category are audited several times per year by the California Department of Food and Agriculture and by the United States Department of Agriculture.

D’Arrigo Bros. Co, of California has a firmly established food safety program based on the following:

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP)

Arizona Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement

D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California and our employees consistently support philanthropic organizations to give back to our community.

Since 1999, Andy Boy has been a proud partner and sponsor of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and has contributed over $1.25 million to finding a cure.

We have a partnership with Rancho Cielo Youth Campus to provide a safe environment to deliver programs and services for at-risk youth to learn new skills to become responsible citizens.

We support our local YMCA to encourage Christian principles through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all.

We strongly support our local schools, community college, select universities, and Boys and Girls Clubs of Monterey County. These organizations inspire our youth to reach their full potential to become responsible, healthy, productive and successful citizens.

The company and our employees consistently support the United Way of Monterey County and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

Monterey County Ag Education is another organization we support. It is dedicated to fostering respect and appreciation for agriculture through education.

D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California provides financial assistance to Ag Against Hunger, whose mission is to alleviate hunger by creating a connection between the agricultural community and food assistance programs.

We enthusiastically fund and serve Kinship Center, which is committed to creating and supporting permanent families for children through adoption or other guardianship programs.

M I S S I O N & C O M M U N I T Y

We passionately fund Natividad Medical Center in their mission to provide health care access to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. John D’Arrigo, a third generation member and President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of D’Arrigo Bros. Co., of California, created The Agricultural Leadership Council (TALC) for the Natividad Medical Foundation in 2010. He brought farm families together to help farm workers.

The mission of TALC is to improve the health status of farm workers and their families by providing medical equipment, diagnostic tools and services. Since its inception, TALC has donated over $1,673,550 towards “changing lives and saving lives.”
