When the Fowler family heads to Anaheim, CA, for the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show, they’ll be bringing more than just apples.

At Bottomley Farms, we believe in growing more than just crops — we grow legacies, nurture communities, and sow seeds for a better tomorrow. As a proud family-owned and operated farm, our roots trace back to the late 1960s when we began with a single, humble crop: cabbage. From those early days, our passion for agriculture and commitment to quality has helped us evolve into one of the most dynamic farming operations in the Southeast.

This week, the Bee Sweet Citrus team is off to IFPA’s Global Produce and Floral Show in Anaheim, CA. The company plans to kick off its new season by debuting a new booth, packaging and more.

El Sol Brands has established a reputation for delivering the highest quality tropical produce to consumers. Based in Miami, the company has found a loyal following, particularly among Hispanic communities.

Next Big Thing is a cooperative of dedicated growers at orchards from Nova Scotia to Washington state, which was formed when the SweeTango apple variety was developed by the University of Minnesota in 2006.

Nineteen years later and the cooperative is going strong, and a contingent of growers are headed to the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral Show to talk about the exciting things happening this year.
