FAQs


Does Stahlbush Island Farms have organic certification?
Yes, one third of our farm is certified organic and our entire farm is certified sustainable by the Food Alliance.


What is Stahlbush’s policy on using pesticides?
Our policy is that healthy plants and healthy soil are our best defense against pests. In terms of pesticides, our preference is to spray nothing and allow nature to fight back against the insect, weed, fungus or other pest. If we find that a substance is needed, our first choice is to go to the The National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances. As a last resort, and if none of these methods are adequate, only then will we spray a pesticide. Our policy is to only use the lowest effective amount of the most benign substance in the most targeted manner.



Do Stahlbush fruits and vegetables contain gluten?
No, none of our products contain gluten. We occasionally process our wheat berries in a dedicated area of our processing plant, and our equipment is thoroughly cleaned between products. We swab equipment to test for gluten contamination to be sure that there is no cross contamination taking place.


What about other allergens, such as eggs, dairy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts and soy?
At Stahlbush, we understand the seriousness of food allergies - they can be life threatening.  We are pleased to be able to provide the marketplace with products that are completely clean and true to their label - 100% pure and natural. Our strict processing procedures have given us honors as "Food Processor of the Year" in the State of Oregon.  Simply put: no allergen contamination here. 


Do any of your products have additives?
Absolutely not! We never add salt, sugar, preservatives or anything else to any Stahlbush products.

Are any of your products Genetically Modified?
Stahlbush is staunchly opposed to producing anything with genetically modified seed. We ban the use of GMOs.
