New Director of Business Development for Grow Farms

This spring brings about much change for Gretchen Kreidler as she joins the sales and business development team at Grow Farms Texas. “Making the move to Grow Farms was easy because of the opportunity it presents and because of the wonderful people I get to work with,” says Kreidler. “My role is still being developed but I will be working directly with the sales and senior management teams at Grow Farms and sister companies on developing sales and customizing year-round shipping solutions for retail clients.”

Grow Farms Texas is a joint venture between The Horton Fruit Co. and Ciruli Brothers, LLC and is based in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley in Donna, Texas. With a base in Texas, Ms. Kreidler will be working alongside Tommy Wilkins and will represent the Horton and Ciruli family of companies, which include Grow Farms, the Horton Fruit Company, Ciruli Brothers and Sunnyside Packing Co.

With access to Horton and Ciruli’ s combined assets, Grow Farms Texas can provide year-round supplies of squash, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and beans from the companies’ diverse growing locations in Mexico and the U.S., including spring and summertime mangos. This includes access to growing programs in the Midwest and Southeastern United States, which operate from Grow Farms offices in Kentucky and Florida. Grow Farms Texas also has access to Horton’s own logistics lines, Flagship Transportation and First Call Logistics, allowing for a truly efficient, full-service operation.

Grow Farms Texas is formally introducing Ms. Kreidler’s addition in preparation of the Viva Fresh Produce Expo, taking place in Austin later this week, where the company is a sponsor and exhibitor.
