Bland Farms Adds Sweet Potatoes and New Vidalia Brands Products

Bland Farms is gearing up for the Southeast Produce Council’s annual Southern Exposure with the release of its newest fresh produce product offering for 2014, sweet potatoes. Bland Farms has been strictly a grower, packer, and shipper of sweet onions and sweet onion products till now, but plans to offer a sweet potato program to customers this year. Southern Exposure is the perfect setting for the company to share the news.

Southern Exposure’s relaxed atmosphere along with the number of buyers present makes the show an ideal platform for the launch. Marketing Director Sarah Seebran, notes, “Southern Exposure is one of the best in our opinion because it’s a smaller, more intimate show and buyers seem to show up. The people you need and want to see are always there and they really enjoy the show, which is one of the main reasons why we decided it was the perfect place to showcase our sweet potato plans”.

In addition to sweet potatoes, at Southern Exposure Bland Farms will highlight its 2014 sweet onion options including the Vidalia® sweet onion. Sister company Vidalia Brands will also be releasing two new sweet onion condiments, Sweet Onion Hibachi White Sauce and Sweet Onion Caesar Dressing along with two all-new salty snack items, Vidalia® Sweet Onion Kettle Chips and Barbecue Sweet Onion Kettle Chips. All will be on hand at Southern Exposure for sampling.
