The Nickey Gregory Co., a full line produce distributor that provides overnight deliveries throughout the Southeast, has plenty of reason to be excited about this year’s International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral show being held in Atlanta.

Setton Farms will be exhibiting at the IFPA show at booth No. B914, with team members from both California and New York facilities in attendance.

The goal is basically the same since the North Carolina Potato Association was formed by a group of farmers in 1928: A unified vision to promote and establish North Carolina as the leader in summer potatoes.
