Farmington Fresh expands operations with upgrades & acquisitions
When asked about the acquisition, Dr. Bruce Hesse PhD, General Manager of Farmington Fresh commented, “Although we are a fresh cut company, the acquisition of retail sales based Onions Etc. fits our strategy to provide expanded products and services to our customers.” Hesse continued, “Foodservice has been our focus for many years, but the opportunity to add additional products, including onions adds real value to our customers.”
Derrell Kelso, Division President of Onions Etc. said, “This merger with Farmington provides real synergies between Onions retail business and Farmington’s foodservice business while utilizing the volume and capital of Farmington to grow both business units.”
In addition to the recent acquisition of Onions, Etc., Farmington Fresh has also undertaken a capital improvement project that includes a $7 million expansion of clean room facilities and equipment to accommodate additional volume and product lines.
“Farmington was the original sliced apple supplier, innovating the apple category more than ten years ago, and we are committed to continuing that legacy, while offering our customers more services and more variety than ever before.”
