Greenhouse lettuce grower Revol Greens has acquired BJ’s Produce Inc., operating under the widely recognized Living Fresh brand, in Athens, GA, to establish its first East Coast greenhouse operation.

When it comes to lettuce and other leafy green vegetables, the Foxy label is renowned for providing the highest standards. That reputation is due to the hard work and unwavering dedication of the Nunes family and The Nunes Co.

“The Nunes Co. is a family-owned national marketing organization,” said Stephanie Cantero, communications and marketing coordinator for the Salinas, CA-based company. “We market conventional and organic fresh-grown produce under the Foxy and the Foxy Organic brand names.”

As one of the nation’s largest lettuce grower-shipper-processors, Church Brothers Farms play an important role in supplying various regions of the country with high-quality lettuce in the fall and winter.
