Irving Farms was the first packing facility on the East Coast to adopt AIB programs for food safety, and today complies with today's Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).  Every load is inspected in-house and by the USDA Federal State Inspection Service.  As a result of our industry leading record for conservation stewardship and food safety, Irving Farms has been recognized as a Conservation Farmer of the Year, the State of Mane Farm Family of the year, and Food Producer of the Year by the Maine Grocers Association.
