Dave Hewitt of 4Earth Farms™ Details Growth and Commitments Ahead of 2023 OPS
COMMERCE, CA - Calling up Dave Hewitt is always an enlightening conversation. Not only do we get to connect over the phone about our hectic schedules, but he’s always available to provide key insights on the latest developments at 4Earth Farms™—especially as the Organic Produce Summit (OPS) comes up.
“We’re not resting on our laurels, and OPS is the best place for us to showcase our core mix of items. Progress is always a focal point for us at 4Earth Farms, and that comes through our enhanced growing regions with emphasis on improving supply, quality, consistency, and year-round availability,” Dave, Vice President of Sales, says. “Attendees will see that through our comprehensive portfolio of organic offerings, such as our Brussels sprouts, florets, sugar snap peas, and both green and French beans.”
This commitment to development is apparent through the grower’s recent progression on increasing access nationwide. Despite the turbulent weather the United States experienced over the past six months, 4Earth’s consistency is expected. The grower’s presence on both coasts allows for fewer miles on the road and more days of shelf-life for its customers.
Additionally, the company’s geographic diversity and expansion have increased delivered program capabilities to all customers across North America. This dedication to top-tier service makes the grower a one-stop destination, and that strength will be on show at OPS.
“The show is unique because it brings the people who buy organic produce together with the people that grow organic produce; it's pretty drilled down,” David explains. “You’ve got a captive, focused audience, so the conversations are very specific and productive. There’s no question that OPS is one of the best shows of the year.”
And 4Earth is certainly not resting on its laurels as the grower continues to build upon last season. One week after OPS, 4Earth will be heading down to Central Mexico to finish out summer and prepare for the upcoming fall season.
