Fall Creek Farm & Nursery, Inc., a global blueberry breeding and nursery stock company, has named Jeff Ford as its Latin American Sales Manager. In his new role at Fall Creek, Jeff will play a pivotal management role in driving Fall Creek’s strategic plan and growth in two key segments, Mexico and South America.
“Jeff Ford brings extensive international experience in the marketing and sales of fresh and processed berries to Fall Creek. In his role, Jeff will manage sales and grower support for the established and emerging blueberry growing regions of Latin America,” said David Schlosberg, Fall Creek’s Director of Sales. “Having Jeff focused on sales and grower support in these regions will help to ensure that we continue to support our growers in achieving maximum success in their blueberry operations in one of the key counter-seasonal blueberry growing regions of the world.”
Most recently Jeff was in sales and marketing with Inabata Foods in South America. Prior to working for Inabata Foods, Ford worked for a fresh cherry packer in Chile where he lived and worked for four years. In his new position, Ford will manage Fall Creek’s Latin American sales and grower support teams and work closely with Fall Creek’s Latin American partners and fruit growers. In reference to his new position at Fall Creek, Ford said, “It offered the unique opportunity to work for a berry industry leader and serve global berry companies in a different capacity while relocating back to the U.S. where I can be closer to the rest of my family.”
Fall Creek is the world’s largest blueberry nursery stock and variety solutions company supplying blueberry genetics, nursery stock and grower support to commercial fruit growers, nurseries and wholesale plant growers in North, Central and South America, South Africa and greater Europe.
