US: Green Giant completes herb facilities

Green Giant Fresh has completed its national network of fresh herb packing facilities. These locations extend their ability to deliver premium fresh herbs around the country from certified local and regional farms.

Green Giant Fresh CEO, Jamie Strachan said “These strategic locations mean better efficiencies and shorter lead times, adding to the products’ shelf life, retailer profits and consumer satisfaction.” Strachan added “Our local and regional certified farms supply local herbs when possible, and draw from common regional farms to deliver year round supplies.”

In addition to their original herb farm near Chicago, IL, Green Giant Fresh packs and ships its line of 15 farm-fresh herbs from Saco, ME, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and Salinas, CA. This national coverage ensures the freshest herbs available year round across the US and Canada. Additionally, Green Giant Fresh has the most extensive line of pouch herbs combined with a complete line of clamshell herbs.

Organics, Private Label and Food Service packs are also available through this common footprint.

Vern Meyer, General Manager of Green Giant Fresh herbs noted, "I've worked for a number of major fresh herb companies over the past 25 years, and I’m confident we’re poised to deliver on our mission of consistently delivering quality fresh herbs year round.”
