IMMOKALEE, FL - The Organic Produce Summit comes at an important time for Ark Foods as the company exhibits at the show for the first time and continues investing in organic production, expanding acreage and scaling its organic specialty pepper program. Attendees can visit Ark Foods at Booth 1002 to learn more about its organic Poblanos, Jalapeños and Serranos, as well as the company’s broader approach to building flavorful, high-quality specialty vegetable programs.
By adding more organic varieties and growing locations, Ark Foods is positioning the program for greater scale while maintaining the quality and consistency customers expect from the brand.
“Our focus is on building this the right way,” stated Noah Robbins, Chief Executive Officer and visionary behind Ark Foods, in the recent release. “We started with a successful trial, and now we’re taking the next step with more items, more acreage and more opportunities to serve customers throughout the year. OPS is the perfect place for us to have those conversations.”
While Ark Foods’ OPS presence will focus on its organic chili peppers, the company continues to advance broader product development efforts into identifying innovative and unique specialty vegetables. Following its South Carolina trial of 114 different varietals across eggplant, tomatoes and specialty peppers, Ark Foods has identified promising tomato varieties with strong shelf life and flavor attributes, including one orange grape tomato variety being incorporated into its tomato medley. The company has also narrowed its baby eggplant work to a handful of standout varieties that will be available as a medley this summer.
As demand for organic produce continues to evolve, Ark Foods sees specialty peppers as an important area of opportunity. Consumers are increasingly cooking with bolder flavors and looking for fresh items that bring variety to everyday meals. Organic Poblanos, Jalapeños and Serranos fit squarely into that trend, offering retailers a way to meet organic demand while delivering color, flavor and culinary inspiration.
“We believe our organic program can play a bigger role in the produce department,” said Eduardo Mestre, Chief Operating Officer of Ark Foods. “Ark Foods is excited to help build that category as we continue growing our organic offerings and bringing more vegetables to market. It all ladders back to our mission to Feed the Curious.”
