Sand Candy: Field-raised. Floor-ready.
On today’s retail floor, consistency carries weight. Buyers aren’t just looking for product; they are looking for programs that perform week after week—partnerships built on reliability, flavor and a story that feels authentic from the ground up.
That’s where Sand Candy Produce enters the conversation.
A strategic collaboration between Bland Farms and Battleboro Produce, Sand Candy is the intersection of two legacies. By uniting decades of growing excellence with proven marketing expertise, the partnership blends deep-rooted field knowledge with a sharp understanding of how the category performs at retail. The result is a program engineered for both the soil and the shelf.
Nourishing the Nation,
One Acre at a Time
At this year’s Southeast Produce Council (SEPC) Southern Exposure—themed From Fields to Families: Nourishing the Nation—Sand Candy arrives with a clear, straightforward perspective on the sweet potato category: grow with integrity, handle with precision, and present with purpose.
Nourishing a nation starts long before the plate. It begins in the unique soils that give Sand Candy’ Produce’s Covington variety its signature ‘Nature’s Candy’ sweetness and smooth, consistent profile. By focusing on this gold-standard variety, the company ensures a supply chain built on trust and a product that performs every time. As sweet potatoes maintain their status as a year-round retail staple—transitioning seamlessly from comfort-food classics to modern, health-focused menus—Sand Candy Produce provides the dependable volume and variety-specific quality that retailers need to keep pace with consumer demand.
A Partnership Built on Results
Sand Candy Produce stands on two strong foundations. Bland Farms contributes decades of growing experience and a marketing mindset focused on retail performance, while Battleboro Produce delivers deep agricultural roots and a refined packing infrastructure. The collaboration brings clarity and momentum to a category that continues to evolve.
At Booth #106, the Sand Candy team is inviting attendees into practical, forward-looking conversations. Whether discussing innovative merchandising ideas, upcoming seasonal opportunities, or the latest promotional opportunities, the focus remains on transparency and the shared goal of driving the category forward.
Nourishing the nation is a journey that travels through the hands of growers, the vision of partners, and ultimately, the trust of the shopper. Sand Candy Produce stands firmly at the center of that journey—rooted in collaboration and shaped by a century of combined experience.
