Homegrown Organic Farms Gears Up for a High-Impact Showing at OPS 2025; Stephen Paul and Craig Morris Comment
PORTERVILLE, CA - With a full lineup of premium organic fruit that’s Grown with Care™, Homegrown Organic Farms is set to make a strong impression at this year’s Organic Produce Summit (OPS). The company will be exhibiting at Booth #300, where nearly its entire sales team will be present to connect with retail partners, unveil new programs, and showcase the powerful intersection of flavor, innovation, and responsible farming.

“We’re thrilled to have such a strong presence at OPS this year,” said Craig Morris, Citrus and Grape Category Director, in a recent press release. “Having most of our sales team on site creates a fantastic opportunity to engage directly with our partners and share what makes our programs so impactful.”
Among the highlights, Homegrown will feature the full strength of its summer fruit program, including Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) blueberries from Oregon and ROC California stone fruit—all grown using practices that nurture soil health, protect biodiversity, and honor the people who make it all possible.

“We’re bringing the best of summer to the show floor,” said Stephen Paul, Deciduous Category Director. “Our ROC blueberries now come from four certified farms in Oregon, and our stone fruit continues to showcase the benefits of farming with integrity—from the ground up.”
A cornerstone of that integrity is Homegrown’s commitment to care for people. Through its Equitable Food Initiative (EFI) certified programs—spanning every category in its organic portfolio—Homegrown ensures that farmworkers are empowered, respected, and treated as key partners in growing high-quality fruit. This worker-centered approach is embedded in the company’s culture and practices.

To support those conversations on-site, an EFI representative will be present at Booth #300 to answer questions and share more about how EFI certification impacts farmworker welfare, food safety, and supply chain transparency. That commitment to people comes to life in a new video now available on Homegrown’s YouTube channel, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the company grows with care, not just for the land, but for the people who grow, pack, and deliver the fruit.
Homegrown will highlight how grower storytelling and retail merchandising work hand-in-hand to drive shopper engagement. With branded display bins and category-specific microbrands, the company equips retailers with tools that highlight the people, practices, and purpose behind the fruit, bringing authenticity and greater value to the shelf.
Whether it’s flavorful blueberries, vibrant stone fruit, or a story rooted in people and purpose, Homegrown Organic Farms invites OPS attendees to stop by Booth #300 and experience fruit that’s Grown with Care™—for the soil, for people, and for the future of food.
