The core of the Blue Diamond Orchard Stewardship Incentive Program (OSIP) is a set of best practices around orchard management, environmental issues, occupational health and safety, and community investment. Growers can earn an optional pollinator wellness certification. The program allows Blue Diamond to document the collective level of performance of our members on these issues and thereby highlight participation to the marketplace, government officials, and other relevant groups.

Be sure to leverage the Climate-Smart Grant to achieve Triple Diamond status!

This season, we have simplified OSIP requirements and created several documents to help you easily participate. Below are a couple of key resources to help get you enrolled in the 2024 Crop Year:
