Fresh Solutions Network® (FSN) is showcasing its newly re-designed Side Delights® Organic potatoes and onions at the Organic Produce Summit trade show on July 13, 2023, in Monterey, California. FSN partners Basin Gold Cooperative of Pasco, Washington and Sterman Masser Farms of Sacramento, Pennsylvania will represent the Network at the show.
"We have exhibited at OPS since it began in 2016 and we are proud to participate in this show," said Kathleen Triou, president and CEO of Fresh Solutions Network. "Organic-focused consumers desire purity in the food they eat. To meet that need, we provide transparency of these quality potatoes from where and how they were grown, stored and handled.”
Side Delights Organic potatoes are 100 percent non-GMO, USDA and state-certified organic. The packaging includes the top three most popular potato varieties - Red, Yellow, and Russet--available as a three lb. offering in combo mesh, straight Poly and BioFlex™ sustainable bags. Organic onions are sold under the Farmer's Table® organic brand, including colossal, jumbo and medium sizes of Red, Yellow and White onions.
