Swanton Berry Farm

We also offer low-cost housing to our employees. Over 75% of our employees take advantage of this benefit. And, we try to have a good time! While farm work is hard work, it is made easier by good companionship and good humor. We show our appreciation for good work by passing on the compliments of our customers. We recognize the fact that everything we do springs from work done in the field. We involve as many employees as possible in the decision-making process. And we try to share as much information as possible with employees. Farm work at Swanton Berry Farm is an intellectual as well as physical process. We depend on the ideas and observations of all employees. It takes a bit longer to do things when you ask several opinions about what should be done next, but in the end, we make better decisions. We treat our employees as professionals, not cogs in a 'food machine'. The Union label is your assurance that the food you are eating is produced by professionals under the best possible working conditions.
