If you caught one of our most recent updates with California Giant Berry Farms, then you know the berry supplier is unleashing an abundance of organic blueberries from the Pacific Northwest, complemented by its harvest of organic berries here in California. As the company looks to maximize opportunities across the full berry patch, California Giant will be showcasing its year-round supply of organic strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries at the upcoming Organic Produce Show.

“California Giant Berry Farms is at the forefront of the organic movement and is committed to providing the highest quality, freshest organic berries available,” Nick Chappell, Director of Sales, shared ahead of the show. “Our year-round supply of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries set the standard for quality and consistency and provide retailers, foodservice, and consumers with the best berry experience.”

With current consumer interest in organic produce remaining strong, the supplier is leveraging its current abundance of high-quality berries, showcasing its offering amid the peak Pacific Northwest blueberry season.

At booth #503, attendees are invited to visit California Giant Berry Farms and learn more about the company’s vision to provide high-quality berries in the most sustainable way. Visitors to the California Giant booth will also learn about its organic and conventional offerings, promotable volume marketing opportunities, and more.

“OPS is always a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry decision-makers and showcase our organic offerings,” Nick added. “We see the event as a chance to mingle with industry leaders to celebrate partnerships and forge new relationships. We enjoy connecting with buyers and love to showcase our commitment to high-quality organic berries.”

As Nick shares with me, California Giant’s goal is to be the most resilient fresh berry company in the world. An element of that includes the provider’s dedication to sustainability. In fact, the brand expects to publish its first Sustainability Impact Report soon as it continues to strive for improvement in this area.

“California Giant Berry Farms is proud to be the first commercial strawberry operation in the U.S. to achieve Fair Trade USA™ certified strawberries,” Nick goes on to note. “This initiative reinforces our commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices and underscores our mission to deliver the best quality berries and nourish our communities. This builds upon our existing sustainability certifications that include SCS Global Services Sustainably Grown Certified strawberries, as well as Bee Better certified blueberries by Xerces Society.”
