Setton Farms will be exhibiting at the upcoming International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce & Floral show in Atlanta at booth No. B914 this year.

Wada Farms is a prime example of what can be accomplished through hard work and tireless dedication. Originally established in 1943, the company was founded by Frank Wada who immigrated to the United States from Japan in 1922.

“The first generation of Wadas started farming in San Clemente, CA,” said Eric Beck, director of marketing. “During their time there, Frank and his wife, Agnes, developed a passion for growing premium quality produce. Following the outbreak of WWII, they moved inland to avoid internment when Japanese Americans were forced to relocated from the West Coast.”

Halls G4 LLP grows red and yellow potatoes for the fresh market, and also runs its own washplant and packinghouse, where it takes care of washing, sizing and grading the potatoes into consumer packs (3-pound to 20-pound packages), food service packs (50-pound bags and cartons) and totes for repackers.

Eagle Eye Produce ships over 1 billion pounds of premium, fresh produce annually, making it one of the most important players in the Idaho produce game.

With a recent change in leadership, the Northland Potato Growers Association (NPGA)’s new executive director, Gary Shields, is dedicated to building a strong collaborative relationship with all grower members.

The Giumarra Cos. is a diamond-level sponsor at the IFPA Global show this year, and it considers the show one of the most important all year.

“The large scale of the Global show offers unique opportunities for branded moments,” said Megan Gorgisheli, vice president, marketing administration and brand for Giumarra. “We have been participating in a big way at this event for decades, when it was known as PMA Fresh Summit.”
