VIDALIA, GA - As we prepare to go wheels up toward this week’s Southern Innovations, I am already dreaming about what is in store for me and the rest of the industry at Nashville’s Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center. From what John Shuman, President of Shuman Produce, recently shared with me, we all have a lot to be excited about.

“Southern Innovations has always been a wonderful event, but the recent added focus on organics and foodservice has brought a lot of value to us. We look forward to chatting with our partners about our capabilities and initiatives in these two categories,” John shares when I ask why this show in particular is one not to be missed. “We will be showcasing our RealSweet® organic sweet onions, as well as discussing various foodservice options.”

It’s no secret that the organic category has exploded over the last few years, and John says that the RealSweet organic sweet onions have become an important part of Shuman’s overall go-to-market strategy.

“Demand for organic product continues to grow and the organic sweet onions shipped under the RealSweet label carry very high standards, built on our four core values: consistent, superior quality, industry-best customer service, innovative marketing, and giving back to the communities where our product is sold.”

You can get up close and personal with these tasty offerings yourself at booth #119. The big event is September 6-9, see you there!
