Growers Express is opening a new 70,000 square foot Green Giant™ Fresh consolidation and shipping facility. The new Gonzales, California facility offers advantages including proximity to farming operations, ease of access, less truck congestion as well as an updated design to meet the future of its business. Growers Express President, Gary Andreasian, tells us, “As freight and freshness have become more important to our customers and consumers we aligned with Taylor Farms Retail to offer more efficient loading and consolidation across a much larger set of Green Giant Fresh products. This facility will put us in a position where customers can begin to look at Green Giant Fresh as a one-stop program for whole fresh and value added vegetables.”

Frey Farms has a new juice line: Tsamma Watermelon Juice. Tsamma Watermelon Juice is produced from watermelons grown locally on Frey's California farms and has a unique and delicious flavor. Together with Tsamma's mascot “Tsamma the Lamma,” the company will be widely promoting the new product. Frey Farms will be showcasing the product at the Marine Core Marathon this October. Hilary Martin, Frey's Director of Business Development, tells AndNowUKnow, “Tsamma Watermelon Juice is sweet, but not too sweet, and has many health benefits.”
