Grower Checklists
As a grower, you are ultimately accountable for the people working on your orchard. Whether you manage the orchard yourself or engage a Management Service Operator (MSO), the responsibility for all activities on your land ultimately rests with you.
Your role on your orchard
As the grower, you play a key role in how your business runs day to day. These tools are here to support positive conversations with your MSO, orchard manager, and seasonal workers — not to audit, but to encourage shared understanding and respectful openness. It’s all about protecting your reputation, staying on the right side of the law, and supporting the industry’s commitment to worker wellbeing and food safety.
Helpful tools for growers
We’ve heard from growers, asking for support to meet their obligations and work cohesively with their MSO’s. To make things easier and help protect everyone on your orchard, we’ve created three simple checklists:
1. Grower/Owner checklist
2. Orchard Supervisor/Manager checklist
3. On-Orchard employee checklist
We have also created a User Guide to help growers with the above checklists.
