Mucci Farms guarantees engaging experience at convention

The show floor will be electric at Booth No. 215, the hub of convention activities for Mucci Farms, headquartered in Kingsville, Ontario. “Mucci Farms will have a large representation at CPMA,” Marketing Coordinator Emily Murracas told The Proudce News. “Our entire sales and marketing team will be present along with company owners, a total of 15 team members.”

Balancing out the busy schedule, Mucci Farms is sponsoring the Relaxation Lounge at the convention.

Our products are NON-GMO verified.”

Guests can connect and interact with Mucci Farms by sampling produce, getting a sneak peek at some of the company’s new innovative and sustainable packaging and watching a live chef demonstration using Mucci products.

“New to Mucci Farms this year are the Naked Leaf series — living lettuce and herbs; Smuccies, sweet strawberries; Hotshots, ‘Flavour on Fire’ mixed hot peppers; and Blended Flavours, a medley of snack sized tomatoes, five varieties hand-selected ‘best in class’ as well as our award winning packaging, The New Pint series,” she added.

The New Pint is sleek, stylish and sophisticated. “It is perfect for on-the-go snacking because of its unique shape and resealable technology,” Murracas explained.

“More sustainable than traditional clamshells, the new pint uses less plastic because there is no lid,” she continued. “The New Pint offers great visibility of product, while engaging the consumer with its high-graphic recipe images. It also offers great merchandising options for the retailer. In addition to The New Pint, fresh MIX is a new, dual compartment, resealable top-seal tray that allows consumers to enjoy two of their favorite tomato varieties in one unique package.”

Mucci Farms will be participating in the New Product Showcase with Naked Leaf Living Lettuce and its New Pint.
