Farming company Ark Foods says attendees at the Southeast Produce Council’s upcoming Southern Innovations event can find its team at booth No. 504 for a look at the brand’s ever-growing portfolio.

“We set out to change how people think about fresh food,” says Ark Foods CEO Noah Robbins. “What started with a single vegetable — the shishito pepper — has grown into a diverse portfolio we are proud to grow and share. Finding the joy in vegetables should be easy, and that guides our belief that vegetables are the ultimate food every day.”

At Southern Innovations, Ark Foods says it will spotlight its wide-ranging lineup, including:

  • Bagged chili peppers — a colorful assortment for any occasion.
  • Chopped salad kits — innovative blends that elevate convenience and flavor.
  • Mini heirloom tomatoes — flavorful varieties tailored for everyday snacking.
  • Bulk chili peppers — fresh, high-quality options for retail and foodservice partners.

“We are thrilled to exhibit at Southern Innovations this year, and we look forward to connecting with others, celebrating innovation within produce and sharing what we’ve been working on,” says Lindsay Belfatto, vice president of sales for Ark Foods. “We have some exciting new products on the horizon that we are eager to bring to market.”

Looking ahead, Ark Foods says it will continue to build on its foundation and strengthen its presence with retailers and partners who care about quality, reliability and sparking joy for the end consumer.

“Whether you’re a home cook looking for inspiration or a retailer searching for the next big flavor, Ark Foods has something to drive your imagination,” Robbins says.

SEPC’s Southern Innovations is set for Sept. 10-13 in Charlotte, N.C.
