Red Sun Farms Gives Preview of New Organic Packaging at United Fresh
DUBLIN, VA – Red Sun Farms gave a preview of its packaging direction for its organically grown produce at United Fresh.
“We are working closely with our packaging partners to find the right look for our organic line,” said Jim DiMenna, President and CEO. “We are excited to be taking the first steps to be able to work with a recycled wood fiber board with a re-sealable, lidding film.”
Red Sun Farms are currently working on its packaging with CKF Inc., a manufacturing company that works with recycable moulded pulp and foam products. It also plans to work on the wood fiber look for some of its conventionally grown produce in the future, according to a press release.
“We felt the decision to proceed with the combination of fiber trays and lidding film would be well aligned with today’s consumer. The biodegradable fiber base greatly reduces our plastic consumption and clearly differentiates our organically grown tomatoes from our conventional lineup of hydroponic produce,” said DiMenna. “We expect to roll out the new pack offering in time for our fall crop.”
Red Sun Farms is also on schedule with its Virginia greenhouse and held a successful job fair to add more candidates to its growing team.
