Blueberry demand remains strong with American consumers, and Berry People, a year-round, full-line shipper of branded organic and conventional strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, has promotable volumes of high-quality fruit available.

Wish Farms, international grower and year-round marketer of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, held a ribbon cutting on its new headquarters in Plant City, FL, to commemorate the official move to its new 24,000-square-foot office on its 36-acre campus.

“Our company has a 100-year relationship with the community of Plant City. Our connection goes back to our days on the State Farmers Market and beyond,” said Wish Farms’ Owner Gary Wishnatzki. “This is a strawberry town, so keeping our new address here means a lot to our company, employees and growers.”

Main Street Produce, situated in the fertile Santa Maria Valley of California, farms its own product through its sister company, Freshway Farms. The company started off 2021 with some big news regarding its strawberry segment.

Working in the produce department was one of my favorite experiences when I began my supermarket career. I especially liked helping the produce manager set up colorful displays. I also liked trimming lettuce, celery, cabbage, and other vegetables in the backroom to prepare for the displays, but there was one assignment I was not fond of — when the produce manager would yell to me in the backroom, “Work up 10 more flats of strawberries!”

The California Strawberry Commission is ready to kick off the 2021 season with increased planted acres and an exciting consumer public relations campaign.

Main Street Produce, a leading grower-packer-shipper of premium strawberries and raspberries, is has announced the expansion of its strawberry program.
