Duda Farm Fresh Foods, headquartered in Oviedo, FL, hit a home run when it launched its new “Dandy” brand Celery Snack line that includes Ready to Snack Celery Sticks in a 1.6-ounce single serve package; “Dandy” celery and peanut butter packs in two sizes, 2.3 ounce and 4.15 ounces that pairs with its “Naturally Sweeter and Crispier” fresh-cut celery with a squeezable peanut butter pouch from “Peanut Butter & Co.” and “Crunchables,” a grab-and-go five-ounce cup that contains celery sticks and three flavors of Ranch dip from “Marzetti’s.”

The line was featured at the PMA Fresh Summit in October, and will be showcased again at the New York Produce Show at its booth, No. 406.

Nichole Towell, director of marketing for Duda Farm Fresh, said the company will also feature “Dandy” brand Simple Salad in Seconds at the event.

“This variety pack of flavors and textures gives the home cook an easy salad solution. Just three steps to prep — cut, wash and use. ‘Dandy’ Simple Salad in Seconds combines convenience with a variety of flavors and textures. It’s Ideal for wraps and salads, it has a higher yield than whole-head lettuce and a longer shelf life than bagged lettuce, which means better value for the home cook.”

Duda Farm Fresh Foods had its start in the early 1900s, when Andrew Duda plowed his first Florida field with a sack of celery seed and an enduring belief in the value of hard work and a personal commitment to deliver the very best produce.

Over the years the Duda family’s beliefs and commitment have not wavered from Andrew’s and his three sons. With 46,000 acres across 15 states owned or sustained by DUDA, its parent company, Duda Farm Fresh Foods’ commitment and responsibility to producing the freshest quality produce while reducing its environmental footprint continues to meet the stringent expectations set out by the company’s founders.

“In January 2016, Duda Farm Fresh Foods will celebrate 90 years in business,” said Towell.

“Today the company is a leading grower, shipper, processor and marketer of a wide range of fresh vegetables and citrus with primary locations in Florida, California, Arizona, Georgia and Michigan,” said Towell.

“We love New York and the opportunity to visit with customers in the New York and surrounding regions,” she added.
