Tell Nature's Partner's affiliates what Giumarra is up to.

Tell Nature's Partner's affiliates what Giumarra is up to

Two weeks ago, our supporters asked Walmart to tell Giumarra/Nature's Partner--as one of its fresh produce suppliers--to uphold the law and the standards it claims to adhere to. You can continue to help keep Giumarra accountable by letting their fellow growers in the Nature's Partner network know that you also expect them to be a part of the effort to hold this company responsible. Let them know that their reputations are also on the line. Practices as abusive as those of Giumarra Vineyards reflect badly on the entire Nature's Partner line of fruits and vegetables.

Giumarra's grower partners are in a special position to encourage the company to be responsible. But we need you to ask them to do so. Giumarra's abuses and law breaking are not suitable for anyone claiming to be Nature's Partner. Nor is the fact that two farm workers died of heat-related causes at Giumarra Vineyards. Or the continued charges and worker stories about Giumarra violating heat laws and enforcing a quota system that makes workers afraid to stop for a sip of water. Please help farm workers by sending a message to the other growers affiliated with Nature's Partner.

Giumarra Workers, Community Delegation Turn In Petition With More Than 35,000 Signatures To Giumarra/Nature's Partner

Long time Giumarra worker, Alfredo Caldera was part of the delagation and asked us to share his message w/our supporters.

"I feel very proud of knowing that we have community support, we feel better protected. Everyone should remember that every fruit they eat comes from the suffering of a farm worker. I feel disappointed that Giumarra did not see us because our intention is that they listen to us...We will keep on trying."
