As local Little League programs around the world are gearing up and celebrating their opening days, NatureSweet is teaming up with Little League for an exciting season as “The Official Snacking Vegetable of Little League Baseball and Softball.”

Did you ever wonder where all the produce plants originated? We are so busy with keeping up with our responsibilities in the industry that the history of produce items is not on a daily agenda. It’s more of a priority to achieve numbers so we don’t have to explain missing the budget in a meeting.

Nature Fresh Farms is expanding production to the West Coast, partnering with grower Millennium Pacific to bring California-grown Hiiros tomatoes to the market.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve our efficiencies, maximize sustainability efforts, and bring consumers high-flavor, high-quality produce that’s grown closer to home,” said Niels Klapwijk, vice president of procurement for Nature Fresh Farms Sales. “Onboarding Millennium Pacific as a partner grower with Nature Fresh Farms allows us to do this.”

Three weeks after the IFPA Global Produce and Floral Show, Windset Farms continues to buzz with excitement! Not only did the greenhouse company win the prestigious Best Island Booth in Produce award, but they also unveiled the latest addition to their snacking line, the delightful YUM YUMS cherry tomatoes. These exceptionally sweet tomatoes are a treat from nature’s own candy store and were an absolute hit at the show.

Sustainability and innovation are at the forefront for DelFrescoPure as it is set to debut the G.R.EAT!Grab.Rinse.EAT! tomato line expansion at The Global Produce and Floral Show in Anaheim, CA, Oct.19-21. The lineup will include red, yellow and orange grape tomatoes.

Lipman Family Farms introduced two flavorful new tomatoes to its family of tomato varieties: the Monet Red and Bellavina. Both tomatoes were recently awarded the International Taste Institute's 2023 Superior Taste Award, further emphasizing the innovative taste profiles of each.
