SACRAMENTO, CA - General Produce, inaugural partner of Sacramento’s America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital initiative, will provide locally grown produce for this year’s “Bubbles & Berries” kick off event.
“We’re excited about our third year in association with the Farm-to-Fork events,” Traci Ennis, Foodservice Sales Manager of General Produce, said in a press release. “Each year the festival and venues grow, and our involvement does as well. The Bubbles & Berries Brunch is an excellent way to kick off the ‘Taste of Summer’ in our region. We are honored to work with our local farms to supply fresh, local products to The Hyatt and Preservation and Company.”
The company added that General Produce is one of the oldest produce distributors in the area, relying upon a number of long-lasting relationships with premier California growers, and is proud to support and provide California-grown produce for the event.
“We are collaborating on some other lively Farm-to-Fork projects for the fall festival,” Linda Luka, Director of Marketing & Communications for General Produce, said. “Without giving too much away, at this time, I would invite consumers, customers and industry partners to watch for news on our social media feeds. Our involvement with local growers and businesses dates back to the 1930’s. For it to take shape in the form of a celebration of this magnitude gives credence to many multi-generational, family businesses.”
The Bubbles & Berries Brunch will take place at the Hyatt Regency featuring made-to-order options and bottomless mimosas prepared by the 2014 Tower Bridge Dinner Lead Chef, Jason Poole of Dawson’s. The brunch is scheduled for Sunday, June 7th from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and tickets can be purchased by visiting www.farmtofork.com/summer.
