Ocean Mist Farms is looking forward to the Canadian Produce Marketing Association Convention & Expo, where the company looks forward to connecting with its Canadian partners and sharing its portfolio of premium fresh vegetable commodities.

“Canada continues to be an important market for Ocean Mist Farms, and we always appreciate the opportunity to connect directly with our valued retail partners at this event,” said Ocean Mist Farms President and CEO Chris Drew.

“CPMA’s century-long legacy closely aligns with our own rich history,” Drew said. “We’re proud to support our partners across Canada with a diverse portfolio of premium fresh vegetable products that help them meet shopper demand and encourage greater fresh fruit and vegetable consumption amongst Canadian consumers.”

Ocean Mist Farms representatives will be at booth No. 1526, where they will be showcasing its complete line of Season & Steam items, as well as its comprehensive value-added line of fresh vegetable products.

The award-winning microwavable packaging technology in the Season & Steam line makes cooking fresh vegetables fast and convenient. The fresh vegetables in the Season & Steam line are washed and ready-to-use right out of the package, while the exclusive bag gives consumers the option to pre-season the vegetables, reseal it, and steam them for a completely customized dish.

The Season & Steam line includes artichokes, sweet baby broccoli, broccoli, cauliflower, vegetable medleys and three Brussels sprouts options — Microwavable Wholes, SuperShreds (finely shredded) and Quick Cook Sprouts (halved).

Ocean Mist Farms’ fresh-cut retail packs are washed and ready-to-use for a quick and easy meal prep solution. Labor-saving foodservice packs provide operators with a 100 percent usable, recipe-ready solution for high-quality, cost-effective menu items.

More information on the Season & Steam line and the fresh-cut retail packs is at  www.oceanmist.com/value-added.

In addition to the fresh-cut items, the company will be showing more than 15 premium fresh vegetable commodity items in a variety of pack types and sizes. Ocean Mist Farms will have six representatives available at its booth to engage with customers, retailers and other show attendees.

Ocean Mist Farms has participated in the CPMA show for over 25 years.

Since Ocean Mist Farms’ inception in 1924, its focus has been on growing and delivering the highest-quality fresh vegetables in the marketplace, Drew said. It is from these premium commodities that their value-added program was born — upholding the same standards of quality, but in a more convenient, time-saving format.

“We understand today’s consumers are seeking convenience and versatility, but without compromising on flavor or freshness,” Drew said.
