GLENNVILLE, GA - Bland Farms is excited to be exhibiting at the Viva Fresh Expo this year and invites attendees to stop by booth #109. To get the inside scoop, I had a chance to chat with Sloan Lott, Director of Sales.

“We’ll be showcasing our full line of sweet onions, including a sneak peek at what’s ahead for Vidalia® season, plus updates on our year-round supply programs. We will also highlight our Sand Candy Sweet Potatoes. They’ve really become a household staple throughout the year due to their nutritional profile and versatility, so visitors will get an up-close look at our 365-day supply and our new crop coming out of Georgia in October,” Sloan began telling me.

The Bland Farms team is especially excited about this year’s Vidalia sweet onion crop, and the supplier’s continued focus on quality, consistency, and innovation—from growing practices to packaging and marketing support.

“We’re proud to be part of the 10th anniversary of Viva Fresh, especially as it falls right before the start of Vidalia sweet onion season,” Sloan explained. “It’s a perfect time to connect with industry partners, share what’s in store for the season, and celebrate the relationships that make this business so special. We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces and reconnecting with friends and colleagues in the industry.”

When Viva Fresh attendees walk away from the Bland Farms booth, Sloan hopes they leave with a true sense of who the company is.

“Bland Farms is a family-owned company with over 75 years of farming heritage. For us, it’s always been about growing exceptional produce and providing unmatched customer service,” Sloan concluded. “This year’s Summer’s Sweetest Moments campaign for Vidalia sweet onion season taps into the nostalgia of backyard cookouts, slow summer days, and gathering around the table with less rush and more connection.”

With Bland Farms as a partner, retailers will be poised for a successful summer!
