LAKE PARK, GA – Chris Hill has been tapped as Generation Farms' new Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Reporting to President Jim Gallagher, Chris will lead efforts to grow and transform the business into a premier grower/shipper of high quality/food safe produce across the East Coast.
“I’m looking forward to supporting the talented team and farming heritage currently in place at Generation Farms to grow the business via a new vision for superior grown conventional and organic produce in the East, specializing in onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, blueberries, watermelons, our local organic program and other various produce items,” Hill said, according to a press release.
