“I was excited to accept the position at TGF because farming and retail sales have always been a big part of my life,” said Hansen. “From harvesting produce on my grandparents’ farm in Oceana County to packing groceries at my family’s store in Hart, produce has always been personal to me. This role at TGF is an opportunity to connect thousands of people with healthy, delicious fruits and vegetables every season.”
Hansen is most energized by the ever-changing rhythm of the produce industry. “Each season brings something new to the table, literally and figuratively,” he said. “There’s always more to learn, and I find it rewarding to know that what we offer contributes to people’s well-being.”
In addition to his professional pursuits, Hansen is a devoted family man. He and his wife of over 20 years are raising three children in the heart of Oceana County. On weekends, the family enjoys outdoor adventures, including camping, boating, hiking and playing pickleball at their property in Bear Lake.
“Blake’s passion for produce, his deep community ties and his proven track record in customer-driven sales make him a natural fit for our team,” said Todd Greiner, CEO and president of Todd Greiner Farms. “We’re thrilled to welcome him aboard.”
