INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – The Produce Mom® is thrilled to introduce Peri & Sons® Farms as the latest addition to her family of trusted produce partners. Peri & Sons Farms grow, pack and ship white, yellow, red, sweet and organic onions from their family farms in Nevada and California.
"We love the dedication and energy that The Produce Mom brings to promoting healthy eating habits and we’re excited about the partnership. The program is definitely in sync with our passionate belief that eating healthy is the best form of healthcare,” said Teri Gibson, Director, Marketing & CRM, Peri & Sons Farms.
Consumers will benefit from the partnership through educational information on how to incorporate more onions in meals. These resources include the recently launched Produce Mom Picks grocery store program that draws attention to a different fruit or vegetable each week. Additional information on onions will be offered through The Produce Mom’s facebook and twitter posts, recipes on The Produce Mom recipe directory, Twitter parties and informational blog posts.
As The Produce Mom, Lori Taylor looks forward to sharing information about Peri & Sons Farms products with consumers. “One thing I think families will find interesting is that there is quite a difference between onions harvested in the Spring and Summer and those harvested in the Fall and Winter. Knowing that onions purchased in the Spring and Summer months won’t keep as long and need to be handled carefully helps prevent food waste.”
Taylor continued, “Peri & Sons, is great because they take extra care of their onions. They hand harvest them to minimize mechanical cuts that can cause blemishes and lead to quicker decay.”
