Foxy Brand says Blazer Wilkinson Gee, a year-round grower and shipper of its strawberries and blueberries, will now market South American citrus, grapes and cherries.

The company said the move will enable Blazer Wilkinson Gee to offer more fresh produce to its customers.

“Expanding our product line is a natural progression for BWG,” Jack Wilkinson, director of sales, said in a news release. “Our core competencies in growing and shipping premium berries translate seamlessly to other fruits. This expansion allows us to better serve our existing customers and attract new partners who share our commitment to delivering quality.”

Blazer Wilkinson Gee’s initial offering for the upcoming season includes South American citrus, cherries and grapes in a wide range of varieties, sizes and flavor. Foxy Brand said it plans to import the first containers of citrus to the U.S. in the coming weeks and is taking order.

“We are excited about the opportunities this expansion presents,” Wilkinson said. “Our team is committed to delivering the same level of quality, service, and customer satisfaction that BWG is known for. We look forward to building strong partnerships with our customers and providing them with the best possible products.”

Foxy Produce said Blazer Wilkinson Gee will continue offering year-round strawberries and continue to grow its blueberry portfolio with global supply
