October 15, 2014 | 3 min to read
INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – The Produce Mom is pleased to announce the addition of Braga Fresh Family Farms to her family of trusted partners. As part of the relationship, The Produce Mom will work with Braga Fresh to educate consumers about their Josie’s Organic brand. Josie’s Organics offer a colorful range of premium quality, USDA certified organic veggies including Beets, Radishes, Broccoli, Celery, Herbs, Kale, Chards, Lettuces and Greens.
“Sustainable farming isn’t just a buzzword for Josie’s, it’s been a way of life at the Braga home ranch since the 1920s—three generations. I love that they use sustainability practices such as controlling pests by planting beneficial flowers to attract ‘good bugs.’ They combine these tried-and-true methods with new technologies such as GPS-equipped tractors and fuel-efficient engines to help conserve our national resources,” said Lori Taylor, The Produce Mom.
“We’ve developed everything about the Josie’s Organics brand to help today’s busy moms and families eat more fresh vegetables and put healthier meals on the table, like my grandmother ‘Nonna Josie’ did for our family,” said Rod Braga, president and CEO of Braga Fresh Family Farms. “Lori is working to accomplish the same goals we are. We see our partnership with The Produce Mom as a great opportunity to educate a wider audience about the benefits of fresh, organic vegetables and give moms everywhere new, creative ideas for adding more vegetables into meals and snacks.”
