The newly branded campaign symbolizes a new era for the company that is exciting retailers with its premier produce that is planted, grown and harvested with sustainability in mind. “We are constantly striving for perfection when it comes to not only the produce that that we grow, but for the process that it takes to get to the finished product,” says John Ketler, Vice President of Nature Fresh Farms. “This new look and feel encompasses the innovation and growth across every aspect of our farming operation to give customers a look at how far we’ve come and the steps it takes to provide such a premium product.” Nature Fresh Farms’ new branding comes in the wake of a variety of changes that have expanded the company’s presence throughout North America. Increased distribution, the physical development of expanded facilities in Ohio, Mexico and Texas, retail partner growth, sustainability efforts and new product innovation all play a role in the success of Nature Fresh Farms as it is today. “The rapid growth of Nature Fresh Farms over the past few years has helped us identify the need for a change that would reflect all of the best elements of our company.
