<p>Stemilt Growers is joining forces with #FreshBloggers winner Jennifer Farley of Savory Simple, a food blog centered on original recipes inspired by fresh ingredients, to promote Stemilt apples, pears, cherries, and summer fruits to foodies. Farley will also be sent to a top food blogger contest in 2014.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “People want to know where their food comes from, how it is grown, and who is growing it,” says Brianna Shales, Stemilt communications manager. “Partnering with influential bloggers like Jennifer helps us tell our story and also showcase how people can utilize our fruits both at home and on-the-go.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Farley comments, “I’m very excited to be teaming up with Stemilt Growers. As a recipe developer and food photographer, I love nothing more than working with fresh, whole ingredients. And as a blogger and social media influencer, I feel I have a responsibility to teach people about the health and environmental benefits of eating real food. We live in a society filled with boxed cake mixes and frozen dinners. It’s time to return to wholesome, simple ingredients.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> The visual appeal of the food on Savory Simple, and Farley’s engaging, precise way of explaining the process to make a recipe was exactly what Stemilt hoped for when looking for a blogger to partner with, Shales said. “I can’t wait to see how our fruits, like Piñata!® apples, inspire [Jennifer] and a new dish.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Stemilt is also continuing to engage with consumers through social media. The company’s blog (The Stem) has become a source for consumers to learn more about fresh fruit, while free Stemilt downloads such as its Apple & Pear Baking Guide provides inspiration for using Stemilt fruits at home. The company will host a #FreshStem Twitter party on November 6th from 6 – 8 PM EST.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Congratulations on this great partnership, Jennifer and Stemilt!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.stemilt.com/StemiltHome/index-fall-cta.cfm" target="_new"> Stemilt Growers </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.savorysimple.net" target="_new"> Savory Simple</a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
