Suzette Overgaag, VP of North Shore joins ANUK to take you behind the greens to learn more about North Shore Living Herbs®.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">"About two decades ago my husband, Leo, and I saw a need in the fresh herb category for a solution to the short shelf life and high shrink. That was the beginning of North Shore Living Herbs®, the original living herb. Leo comes from 3 generations of greenhouse growers and with his expertise we were able to bring to market a fresh herb that is packaged with the roots still intact. This living product revolutionized the fresh herb category by extending shelf life, reducing shrink, and bringing in a higher profit for retailers. <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The name North Shore came from the fact that we are located on the north shore of the Salton Sea in the Coachella Valley. Because of the plentiful sunshine and proprietary growing method we are able to provide product that is consistent in price and quality year-round, we do not outsource. We are also 100% pesticide free and grow in a way that has minimal impact on the environment. Our state-of-the-art greenhouses allow us to significantly reduce our use of water and shield the environment from ground water pollution and soil depletion. <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">North Shore Living Herbs® are offered in 21 varieties and four of those are also available in our potted line. We distribute across the United States and have limited international distribution. We work with our retail partners to design a fresh herb category solution tailored to fit their needs. Our roots are firmly planted in the past and we are committed to maintaining our reputation for high quality and innovation. However, we are constantly looking to the future for ways to grow the category and pioneer sustainable growing practices."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
