Chelan Fresh's Mac Riggan Discusses 2026 Organic Produce Summit Showcase

CHELAN, WA - The team at Chelan Fresh is gearing up for the 2026 Organic Produce Summit (OPS), ready to showcase a high-quality supply of organic fruit. I had the chance to chat with Mac Riggan, Vice President of Sales and Business Development, before the show.

“We will feature our Joyfully Grown® organic apple and pear lineup along with OG SugarBee®, Rockit™, and Cosmic Crisp™. We are especially proud of our new 4 count Organic Apple ECO tray packaging that uses zero plastic and eliminates misrings at the retail checkout. We will feature our mainline varieties, along with SugarBee and Cosmic Crisp,” Mac began telling me.

At the event, Chelan will show retailers how the supplier can help them sell product with support like high-graphic merchandiser bins, demo programs, and social media and digital marketing activity.

“I hope attendees walk away from our booth with an understanding that Chelan Fresh is committed to providing them quality organic apple, pear, and cherry programs to meet the growing customer demand,” Mac concluded.

The show is quickly approaching, generating organic category excitement industry-wide. As you map out your OPS show floor plans, be sure to put a star next to Chelan Fresh.
