HERMISTON, OR - River Point Farms and Keystone Fruit Marketing are entering into an exclusive partnership for Hermiston Sweets™ and Hermiston SweetReds™.
As part of the agreement, Keystone Fruit Marketing will have exclusivity to sweet onions from River Point Farms. River Point Farms’ sales teams will continue to market other yellow, red, and white whole, peeled, and fresh cut onions to foodservice, retail, restaurant, and industrial customers throughout North America, according to a press release.
“Keystone has the reputation of being best in its class,” said Bob Hale, President and CEO of River Point Farms. “Formalizing our relationship with sweet onions means that more consumers across the world will have access to our unparalleled standard of produce.”
