We are passionately dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality, safest, and easiest-to-handle organic fertilizers developed exclusively to help you grow your business.

True® takes pride in manufacturing organic fertilizers proven to build and strengthen our growers’ soil with every application. Our products are designed to function in diverse geographic and environmental conditions. Agronomic programs that use our products will improve the soil and provide the nutrients that will enhance the health of your crops and increase your overall yield.
At True Organic Products, we believe helping our growers build their business extends beyond what goes in the ground. We believe in contributing to the overall health and well-being of the communities we serve through the support of various non-profits and other philanthropic efforts.
Since its founding in 2003, the company has grown to the largest and most sought-after manufacturer of organic fertilizer on the West Coast. True founder, Jake Evans, remains hands-on with the company’s day-to-day interests, committed to the idea that a biologically balanced healthy soil makes for healthy plants, environment, and community.
“I’ve always felt success comes with being honest,” Jake says. “Fulfilling our commitments is a TOP priority.”
The Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA), based in Ottawa, Ontario, is a not-for-profit organization that represents all segments of the Canadian produce supply chain, from growers and distributors to retailers and technology suppliers. CPMA’s members are responsible for 90% of fresh fruit and vegetable sales in Canada. Through its extensive membership, CPMA advocates for policies, standards, and innovations that support the growth of the sector and ensure Canadians have access to fresh produce.
This year, CPMA celebrates its 100th anniversary, marking a century of service to the industry. Over the years, the organization has evolved alongside changing market dynamics, technologies, and consumer preferences, highlighting its resilience and significant role in shaping Canada's produce sector. This milestone reflects CPMA's ongoing commitment to its members and its advocacy for a sustainable future.
CPMA also plays a key role in addressing challenges such as food safety, sustainability, trade regulations, and supply chain efficiency. By collaborating with government bodies, industry leaders, and international partners, CPMA ensures that consumers across Canada receive fresh produce safely and efficiently.
The fresh fruit and vegetable industry is a critical driver of economic activity, providing thousands of jobs and supporting local businesses across Canada. From rural farming communities to urban retailers, the economic impact of the industry touches nearly every region of the country. CPMA works to highlight the importance of this sector and advocates for policies that support its continued growth and success.
Canada is one of the largest importers of U.S. agricultural products, including fresh fruits and vegetables. This robust trade partnership ensures that U.S. growers have access to a reliable, near-market destination for their produce. This is especially critical for perishable crops, where timely distribution is key to maintaining quality and minimizing waste. In this sense, Canada’s role as a trading partner supports U.S. growers’ economic stability, providing a stable and accessible market just across the border.
In addition to its economic benefits, the produce sector also plays a crucial role in improving the health and productivity of Canadians. CPMA is committed to promoting the benefits of healthy eating through educational initiatives, partnerships, and campaigns that encourage Canadians to eat more fresh produce. By improving public awareness and access to nutritious food, the association contributes to a healthier, more productive population, further strengthening the nation’s overall well-being.
Through its advocacy, collaboration, and education efforts, CPMA is helping shape a healthier, more prosperous future for both the produce industry and Canadians as a whole.

In 1994, PrimusLabs began its foray into auditing by developing G.A.P. manuals, and in 1996, the company became an early force in the produce industry for field-level food safety plans. It was the first American company to offer auditing for farms and harvest crews and became an early and strong advocate for complete programs for farms and ranches. Over the next few years, PrimusLabs began offering food industry plans, and GMP audits and consultation for processing plants, cooling and cold storage facilities, packing sheds, terminal markets and distribution centers. These audits were known as PrimusLabs Standard audits.
The firm provided extensive expertise in the form of “guides” used throughout the industry and by governmental food safety agencies. Thus, Primus Laboratories advanced the concept of preventing contamination at the earliest point in the production chain, rather than limiting the focus to downstream packing or processing operations, a concept not acknowledged by the FDA until 2011 with the passage of FSMA.
In 1998, Primus launched the web-based Document Development Program (DDP) allowing clients to create safe production manuals free of charge in exchange for the use of their data gathered through the program. While most companies copyrighted their audit schemes, Primus never did so, choosing instead to allow growers, farm managers, and other interested individuals the opportunity to run self-audits.
By the turn of the millennium, PrimusLabs developed programs allowing the submission of data generated from sub-contracted auditors, in addition to its in-house personnel. That number has grown to nearly 100 in-house and subcontracted auditors.
In 2006, auditing services were expanded to Mexico, and later to Costa Rica and Chile. In 2008, Javier Sollozo was promoted to the position of Director of Auditing Operations. In 2011, its PrimusGFS audit was benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). In 2013, PrimusLabs’ Audit QA became the largest in the industry.
In March 2015, prompted by a new requirement of GFSI’s Benchmarking Committee in response to the request to re-benchmark the PrimusGFS version 2.1., PrimusLabs sold its Auditing Division to Javier Sollozo, who launched JS Audit Group, Inc. doing business as Primus Auditing Ops.
The new company maintains all of PrimusLabs’ personnel, as well as over 20 years of auditing expertise in farm – level produce audits, but it has also expanded its focus to include auditing of semi-processed, and fully processed produce foods, e.g. juices, salsas etc.
While it evolves, Primus Auditing Ops maintains its promise to serve its clients with objective, thorough, and accurate audits. Our mission is simple – Observe. Report.
At Sábor Farms, one thing we know for sure is that good food brings people together. In fact, Jess Quinlan was grabbing a burrito at El Charito in Salinas when he met Tony Alameda standing in line. They struck up a conversation and two years later, the Alamedas and Jess founded Sábor Farms in 2006. Since that time the company has grown from a handful of employees to several hundred, finding its place in the market with niche crops that most people wouldn’t think to farm. We are constantly finding new ways to improve our operations, as specialty crops are often difficult for conventional farmers to grow. Both the Alameda and Quinlan family are deeply rooted in the Salinas Valley and Yuma, making the community an important value to Sábor Farms. We foster a culture where we treat our coworkers like family, our partners with integrity, and most of all, we aim to bring our customers together with unique and healthy vegetables.
