MCALLEN, TX - Nashville, Tennessee, will become a hub for produce industry discovery from September 9–12, 2026. There, the Southeast Produce Council (SEPC) will host its Southern Innovations event, giving industry members an opportunity to connect and collaborate. GR Fresh is one supply-side leader ready to make an impression.

“We will showcase a strong selection of our core produce offerings, with a focus on products where we can bring quality, consistency, and dependable supply to our customers,” Tony Incaviglia, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, began telling me. “Our featured items will include tomatoes, avocados, cucumbers, eggplant, and green and color bell peppers, with a focus on some new value-added tomato packs.”

Strengthening Industry Connections

Southern Innovations provides an excellent platform for suppliers and buyers to connect. Tony explained that at the show, GR Fresh aims to continue building relationships and promoting sustainable growth.

“We are looking forward to getting back together with our customers and partners and exploring new industry opportunities face to face. Events like this allow us to strengthen relationships, share what’s new with us, talk about new opportunities, and most importantly, listen to what is needed from us,” Tony pointed out.

Putting Relationships First

The key takeaway from the GR Fresh booth will be that the company is more than just a grower, but a supplier and partner that can be counted on.

“The goal is for attendees to see the quality and understand our commitment to dependable supply and service,” Tony added. “But above all else, we want them to know that we are a company that puts relationships first; after all, this industry was and continues to be built on trusted relationships.”
