“Honeybear Brands is delivering on growing organic demand with our offering of the key apple and pear varieties, including fresh Honeycrisp from the southern hemisphere, critical to retailers’ mix of product offerings. We know good quality organic apples and pears can wane over the summer which is why our Southern Hemisphere crops are vital to refreshing the organic supply and ensuring year-round flavor and availability,” said Don Roper, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

As Honeybear shares, the brand’s ability to deliver on increased shopper demand for organic fruits and the debut of Organic Pazazz apples make Honeybear an excellent resource for a complete organic program.

Honeybear will be showcasing its suite of organic offerings in Monterey, California, during the Organic Produce Summit on July 10–11. Be sure to stop by booth #917 to learn more about the brand’s cart-stopping packaging and innovation and sustainability efforts.
