Rio Rico, AZ — Three years ago, Delta Fresh held a grand opening of its new warehouse in Rio Rico, which adjoins the Coast Produce facility. The new space featured state-of-the-art equipment and plenty of space for growth — or so it seemed.

Rio Rico, AZ — Six weeks into its vegetable season, Fresh Farms is seeing outstanding quality on most items due to favorable weather in Sonora.

Seeded Produce, LLC has made a big name for itself over a relatively short period of time in the very busy and very competitive market in Nogales.

As it starts its third season, Seeded Produce enjoys a superb reputation as a packer and shipper whose core items include soft squash, cucumbers, eggplant, watermelons, mini-watermelons, green Bell peppers, and English cucumbers.

Nogales, AZ — Carving out a niche in the Nogales produce scene can be a daunting task, given the number of longtime produce operations that do business in the area.

But in the five short years since iDeal HarBest opened its doors, it has successfully made a name for itself as a quality operation that is aligned with excellent growers and provides a high level of service to its customers.

Nogales, AZ — The cancellation of the PMA Fresh Summit was especially disappointing for IPR Fresh, according to company President Jose Luis Obregon.

“We were looking forward to going to New Orleans and seeing our clients, and getting back to normal,” Obregon said of the event, which was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and again in 2021 due to Hurricane Ida.

With the West Mexico vegetable deal just starting to get underway and the transition from fall production in full swing, Nogales, AZ-based Divine Flavor was interested in focusing the limelight on its employees, including its frontline workers in the field.

Michael DuPuis, quality assurance and public relations coordinator for the 15-year-old firm with even deeper roots, said “it all starts with the workers. We do anything we can to improve the lives of our workers.”
