The Power of Three Takes the Stage at Southern Exposure 2026

Village Fresh Greenhouse Grown is proud to exhibit at the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show in Orlando this February 2026. As one of the highlights of the year for our team, Southern Exposure provides an important opportunity to connect with retail, wholesale, and foodservice partners while building new relationships across the industry.

At Booth 315, Village Fresh will showcase its full lineup of greenhouse-grown tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers—delivering the Garden Fresh Flavor customers expect year-round. The portfolio includes standout varieties such as Sinfully Sweet Campari, our most loved cocktail tomato, known for its exceptional sweetness, reliable quality, and strong consumer loyalty. Also featured is the Heavenly Villagio Marzano line, widely recognized by chefs and food lovers alike for its balanced tomato flavor that brings together natural sweetness and bright acidity.

A key highlight at this year’s show is the Heavenly Villagio Marzano TRIO®, exclusive to Village Fresh Greenhouse Grown. The TRIO combines vibrant red, yellow, and orange Mini San Marzanos with the same balanced sweet-and-acid flavor profile that has made the Heavenly Villagio Marzano a culinary favorite. With crisp texture, thick walls, and excellent shelf life, it delivers versatility across roasting, grilling, sautéing, and fresh applications.

Supporting the launch is a new creative campaign built around the theme “Good Things Come in Threes.” The campaign underscores the harmony of color, flavor, and performance that defines the TRIO while reinforcing Village Fresh’s commitment to innovation within the greenhouse category.

Village Fresh’s leadership team will be on hand throughout the show, including Richie Keirouz, VP of Sales Operations; Lyra Vance, Director of Strategic Business & Sales Development; Krysten DeGiglio Pillari, Director of Regional Corporate Sales; Shawna Pelletier, Manager of Regional Sales; and Helen L. Aquino, VP of Innovation. 

Together, the team looks forward to engaging partners in strategic conversations focused on category growth, merchandising opportunities, and differentiated greenhouse solutions.

Looking ahead to spring, Village Fresh is preparing for its Canadian harvest, with ripe fruit scheduled to begin at the end of March. 

“Our Canadian crop is progressing right on schedule,” said Richie Keirouz. “We’re seeing strong plant development, and we expect to begin harvesting ripe fruit at the end of March. That timing positions us well to support our customers as we transition into the spring season.”

Southern Exposure remains a cornerstone event for Village Fresh Greenhouse Grown, bringing together the relationships and forward-thinking ideas that drive our industry. Village Fresh continues to deliver premium greenhouse-grown tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers that elevate the produce department and inspire consumers.

We invite attendees to visit Booth 315 to meet the team, explore our varietals, and discover how Village Fresh continues to grow flavor, innovation, and partnership across North America.
