“The FreshStart Conference is an opportunity to empower our industry, and focus attention on new and creative ways of cultivating the next generation of produce consumers,” Phil Muir, president and CEO of Muir Copper Canyon Farms and chairman of the foundation’s board of trustees, said in the release. “This year, I’m excited for attendees to experience a packed lineup of engaging events, networking with colleagues, and the opportunity to come together for a worthwhile cause.”
