US: Organic product line to include organic onions

Veg-Fresh Farms’ fresh division, Good Life™ Organic, is adding organic red, white, and yellow onions to its product line.

Demand is expected to be hot for these new items this summer, as Ryan Galindo, a buyer for Good Life™ Organic, explains, “The onion market has been strong this summer and with the continued growth in customer’s demand for organic produce, Good Life™ Organic onions couldn’t be launching at a better time.”

Good Life™ Organic will be offering its customers three sizes of organic onions, including 16/3 lb. bags, 40 lb. stickered cartons, and 50 lb. sacks.

Currently, production is being harvested in the Lancaster, Bakersfield, California area and will transition to the Pacific Northwest in October.

“Good Life™ Organic onions will be supplying the marketplace organic onions year round from California and the Pacific Northwest,” said Anthony Innocenti, Organic Category Manager for Good Life™ Organic.

All Good Life™ Organic labels include the USDA Organic seal and the QAI logo, which states that the produce has been certified organic by Quality Assurance International. Research shows that using the USDA organic seal is believed to be responsible for increased consumer trust and a willingness to pay more for organics.
