Five team members from Nickey Gregory Co. are preparing to attend the Southeast Produce Council’s Southern Exposure show, including two employees from the company’s processing/fresh cut division, Family Fresh Foods.
While pockets of the nation were devastated by the late December cold front that enveloped much of the country and dipped into Mexico, it does not appear to have delivered a big blow to the supply-demand curve in terms of the fresh produce industry. At least that was the view from various industry members around the country.
The Southeast Produce Council has named Faye Westfall, a longtime member of the fresh produce industry who has been directly involved with the council since its earliest days, to the SEPC board of governors.
Nickey Gregory Co., operating in the Atlanta State Farmer’s Market, continues to invest in its own fresh-cut and processing division, Family Fresh Foods, knowing its customers are looking for more safe, ready-to-eat produce.
