"I've had several opportunities over the years in this industry to learn many different aspects of the produce business -- and I'm looking forward to this new challenge of joining a dynamic management team and helping them sustain the explosive growth Rosemont Farms has achieved over the past few years, he added.
"With the addition of Hurley Neer to the Rosemont team, we are welcoming someone to the organization who will only strengthen our ability to meet the demands of our clientele, Andrew Schwartz, president of Rosemont Farms, said in the statement. "In this industry, if you are standing still you are moving backwards, and with Hurley's produce knowledge we will continue to move forward as a company.
