One Earth
As a multigenerational family business that is firmly grounded in stewardship and based on agriculture, Spottswoode is committed to doing everything we possibly can to be a part of bringing about change in caring for our natural environment and our community.
One Earth signifies the interconnectedness of our planet and the impact our decisions have on the natural environment and communities near and far. Our holistic approach to everything we do is a key part of our success, both as a business and as an environmental partner and advocate.
Below are the organizations that we belong to and support, the specific efforts we make on our property, and the contributions we make to our community.

We are proud to have achieved Silver level certification in 2023.
