Ben Wilson, commodity account manager, expressed optimism about the season ahead, stating, “If these first harvests are any indication, it’s going to be a good one!” He added, “With the exceptional quality we’re seeing, we anticipate a strong crop through the Easter holiday and beyond.”

Easter is a significant holiday for artichoke consumption, and Ocean Mist Farms is prepared to meet the demand with a variety of pack sizes to support customer needs. Wilson emphasized the importance of leveraging advertising and promotions to generate excitement in Produce Departments and remind consumers of the exceptional produce available this spring and summer.
