SAN FRANCISCO, CA – As the industry attends the inaugural, and currently ongoing, Organic Produce Summit trade show, the Fresh Solutions Network announced it would highlight the company's Side Delights® Farmers Table Organic Potatoes. These potatoes are 100 percent non-GMO, and USDA and state-certified organic.
“We are proud to participate in this first-ever show, and feature our Side Delights® Farmers Table brand of organic, non-GMO potatoes,” said Kathleen Triou, President and CEO of Fresh Solutions Network, in a recent press release. “Our organic consumers desire purity in the food they eat, and we satisfy these consumers with transparency of where these quality potatoes were grown, and how the potatoes were treated.”
The shopper and retail-friendly packaging includes designs for Red, Yellow, and Russet varieties of potatoes. The varieties are available in both a 3 lb. and 5 lb. paper bag, and a 3 lb. poly bag. Packaging options are also available for distribution in Canada, with bilingual options in English and French.
“We invite attendees to visit the Fresh Solutions Network exhibit at booth 513,” added Triou. “We are showcasing our new and improved packaging for the Farmers Table brand, and discussing the unique design features that appeal to organic shoppers.”
The company stated that according to Nielsen Perishables Group FreshFacts data over a 52 week period, organic potato growth outpaces the total category, driven by expansion of items offered and a 12 percent increase in distribution. Organic potato dollar sales account for 3 percent of all potato sales, up 325 percent over two years ago.
