Ocean Mist Farms hired veteran agricultural industry marketer Lori Bigras as its communications manager. With this hiring, Ocean Mist Farms has brought on an experienced professional with over 20 years in the produce industry.

Giorgio Fresh Co. has a long-standing tradition of growing high-quality mushrooms to fit customers’ needs.

Russo Farms are growers, buyers and shippers of fresh produce, and have been in business for more than a century, with retailers being its primary customer base.

Its primary crops are cilantro, dill, parsley, green onions, kale, collards, Swiss chard, beets, radishes, bok choy, cabbages and Napa cabbage. 

The company also owns and operates its own trucks for delivery, and ship via direct grower relationships in New Jersey, dealing in sweet corn, peppers, squash, cucumbers, pickles and hot peppers.

Technology is great — until it isn’t. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal reported that the movement toward high-tech indoor farming has — to put it mildly — slowed. Perhaps with good reason.

Fresh mushrooms are the answer to so many consumer needs — from nutrition to flavor to making more sustainable choices to extending their grocery dollars. The Mushroom Council is tasked with helping the mushroom category grow.

The Mushroom Council is composed of fresh market producers and importers who average more than 500,000 pounds of mushrooms produced or imported annually. Research and promotion programs help to expand, maintain and develop markets for individual agricultural commodities in the United States and abroad.
