Since its founding in 1809, Rogers’ Orchards has grown from a small, family-owned farm into a local icon known for producing fresh, flavorful apples. With deep roots in the community and a long-standing commitment to quality, the orchard has always prioritized sustainability, ensuring the land is preserved for future generations. This commitment to the environment has been passed down through generations, with each era of the family striving to innovate while staying true to their core values. It’s this blend of tradition and forward-thinking that has kept Rogers’ Orchards at the forefront of sustainable agriculture.
In recent years, Rogers’ Orchards has taken significant strides in its sustainability journey by introducing TIPA’s compostable bags for their apples. “We discovered TIPA while searching for more sustainable packaging solutions,” shares Peter Rogers, CEO at Rogers’ Orchards. “Their compostable bags are the perfect fit for us, keeping our apples fresh while fully breaking down naturally.”
Rogers’ Orchards’ customers have responded enthusiastically to the switch. “TIPA’s compostable bags have strengthened the company’s reputation for sustainability, as customers increasingly value products that align with their own environmental priorities,” Peter adds. “Our sales have seen an impressive 8% increase since launching our apples packed in compostable packaging,” Peter notes, emphasizing the tangible benefits of going green.
In addition to adopting TIPA’s packaging, Rogers’ Orchards has integrated other sustainable practices, such as drip irrigation to conserve water, renewable energy to power facilities, and eco-friendly pest management techniques. These efforts help reduce the company’s carbon footprint while promoting a thriving ecosystem.
Serving both B2B and B2C markets, Rogers’ Orchards continues to lead the way in responsible farming, delivering fresh, sustainable apples to customers while staying true to its core values of quality and environmental responsibility.
