EDINBURG, TX - J&D Produce is announcing a new consumer marketing campaign during the 2019 Viva Fresh Expo as part of a commitment to raising awareness of its proprietary HoneySweet® Onion brand.

The expo will be featuring nutrition coach and dietitian blogger, Stacey Mattinson, whose whole foods approach to health and wellness has been featured in Shape, Women’s Health, Weight Watchers, NBC News, and more.

“Stacey’s passion for produce and healthy eating personifies our company’s values,” remarked Jimmy Bassetti, President. “We’re excited to have her represent us with reaching a younger consumer audience and educating them on the consistent quality and premium, mild flavor of our HoneySweet onion variety that’s available year-round.”

According to the company’s press release, the consumer marketing campaign will launch this summer and be customized for participating retailers. Mattinson will lead a team of food bloggers to generate excitement and buzz.

Additional activities will include:
