Hollmann also noted that Fresh Start Produce Sales Co's. history as a large-scale provider of quality produce, along with its corporate structure, were important factors in making this relationship possible.
“We are excited to partner exclusively with one of the industry’s leading producers of onions,” said Greg Blackwood, co-owner of Fresh Start Produce Sales Co. “We are driven to deliver the best product to retailers, and equally important, the greatest returns possible to our growers.”
