Partners on this project, and can't wait to get our ASICSA organic apples chilling inside! Learn more at www.fno.cl. In 1997, Viva Tierra teamed up with a Chilean apple grower near the town of Chillán to establish one of the first successful organic programs in the country, ASICSA. Today we are the only US importer of organic apples from Chile who also grows in-country, giving us a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards local producers face.ASICSA operates with the help of a committed team of workers who are passionate about the trees and the land… and soccer. On Sundays, workers and their families join teams from other local orchards for matches on the orchard's soccer field. The orchard now possesses a team bus, as well, so the workers can enjoy both home and away games.In true partnership fashion, workers determine which community projects are of importance to them when it comes to reinvesting profits from the fruits of their labors – and we think empowering our community in this way makes our ASICSA apples the best! As a member of the Sustainable Food Trade Association, Viva Tierra Organic reports annually on benchmark sustainability metrics. We continually work to increase the sustainability of our operations, including developing recyclable packaging materials, generating solar power at our headquarters, keeping a nearly paperless office, reducing food waste, and more.
