US (FL): New logo for Fresh-Veg
Fresh-Veg is a family owned broker/grower representative and specializes in year-round sales of squash, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers and all Mexican fruits and vegetables that crosses Nogales, AZ and McAllen, TX. Fresh-Veg has offices in Florida, Nevada, Arizona and South Carolina.
“I started Fresh-Veg in 1991 as a broker specializing in servicing wholesalers. My wholesale business has grown steadily by providing exceptional service and procuring quality products from various sources and delivering products that exceeded my customer expectations,” explains Eliseo Trujillo, Owner/President of Fresh-Veg. “During the last several years my son Ely and daughter Lorena have joined the company and together the company has evolved to also operate more like a grower representative to service retailers and foodservice companies. I realize that in the produce business it is more important than ever to go as direct to the source as possible to reduce costs and procure the freshest and safest products. Our long-term goal at Fresh-Veg is to represent quality growers and sell their products under our own Certified Produce label. We created the new Fresh-Veg logo with that goal in mind and plan on building new Fresh-Veg marketing programs emphasizing our field-to-fork strategy,” explains Trujillo.
Ely Trujillo, Eliseo’s son is based in Las Vegas and has a former foodservice background. “I joined my fathers company in 2000 and then left to work for a large foodservice company between 2006 and 2008. When I came back to Fresh-Veg in 2008 my goal was to help transition Fresh-Veg into servicing foodservice and retail customers,” explains Ely Trujillo. “We have a Santa Maria, CA growing partner and started branding our products as Certified Produce in 2011. I created the brand with the long-term goal of extending the brand to other quality vegetable growers around the country. We are currently looking for new Fresh-Veg grower partners that share our Certified Produce vision. All Fresh-Veg and Certified Produce products are GAP, GMP and HACCP certified,” explains Ely Trujillo.
Fresh-Veg hired TFM International, Inc. to help them with marketing strategy and execution. TFM International specializes in produce advertising, communications and business development and is based in Mulberry, FL. “I am very excited about working with Fresh-Veg and helping them expand Fresh-Veg’s marketing programs,” explains Mark Vertrees, Owner/President of TFM.
