Rainier Fruit Company Gears Up for Southeast Produce Council's Southern Exposure; Blake Belknap Shares
SELAH, WA - As we inch closer to the anticipated event that is Southeast Produce Council’s (SEPC) Southern Exposure, fresh produce and fresh faces are top of mind for the companies eagerly waiting to attend. Among those industry leaders is Rainier Fruit Company, which will be showcasing its lineup of high-flavor, premium apple varieties.
“Pink Lady®, Lady Alice, and Envy™ are having a stellar year, and it’s awesome to see an emphasis on these varieties. Their high flavor profile and explosive crunch make them a crowd-pleaser,” Vice President of Sales Blake Belknap says.
With the event fast approaching on March 3–5, Rainier is echoing a common sentiment felt across the industry: the excitement surrounding the chance to gather and meld minds in person.
“It’s always a good time to see old friends and familiar faces, but I am excited to see the new as well! I know that there will be innovations across the trade show floor. Immersing myself in what’s new in the retail environment and making new connections—it’s always a good time to be had!” Blake exclaims. “It’s been a long couple of years dominated by webinars. Getting face-to-face with retail partners is a breath of fresh air, and one that we are looking forward to. As much as we have adapted to an online work environment, nothing replaces the ability to meet with people in person.”
