Six L's -- Florida's largest tomato grower -- joins forces with CIW for Fair Food!



With the the 2010 tomato season just around the corner, momentum for the Campaign for Fair Food and its industry-changing standards for real social accountability just keeps growing!

On October 21, 2010,  the CIW and Immokalee-based Six L's made it official: Florida's largest tomato grower is joining the Fair Food program.

Six L's has agreed to pass on the penny-per-pound and to adopt the Code of Conduct at the heart of the campaign, including a cooperative complaint resolution system, a participatory health and safety program, and a worker-to-worker education process aimed at insuring that farmworkers themselves are active participants in the social responsibility efforts.
