Fall is a busy time for Sunny Valley International as berries are front-and-center.  

“We are under way with our imported blueberry program now and are getting regular arrivals of organic and conventional fruit from Peru,” said Tom Beaver, director of sales and marketing for the Glassboro, NJ-based company. “So far, the quality and condition has been excellent. Fruit is arriving with the exceptional size, crunchiness, bloom and taste that retailers and their final consumers have come to expect from Peru.”

Wada Farms, a family-owned farming operation that began in 1943 with 160 acres of potatoes, is now one of the nation’s largest suppliers of fresh potatoes, onions and sweet potatoes, with long-standing partner relationships throughout the U.S. and in countries around the world.

Russo Farms has over a century of experience as a reliable grower, buyer and shipper of fresh produce. The company also manages its own fleet of trucks for delivery and maintains direct grower relationships throughout New Jersey to ensure quality and efficiency.

Marolda Farms, a family-owned operation based in Vineland, NJ, specializes in growing both conventional and organic leafy greens and herbs. The farm spans 250 acres for conventional crops and 130 acres for organic produce.

While the end of August may be a bit early for predictions, leadership at Frank Donio Inc., a trusted Jersey Fresh grower, packer and wholesaler, feels it will be a normal fall season ahead, following some weather challenges that impacted the summer crops.
