Nogales, Ariz.-based EarthBlend is starting its sixth season distributing West Mexico produce, says Steve Spence, director of sales.

“Year after year we continue to see growth and expansion,” Spence said, noting that EarthBlend receives steady supplies of dry veg daily, with promotion opportunities on cucumbers, squash, eggplant and green beans.

New developments at the company include year-round supplies of cucumbers and squash, Spence said, with contract opportunities available. Customer service is a top priority for the company, he said.

Spence said EarthBlend also can adapt to diverse customer packaging needs.

“We’re always looking for value-added programs. RPCs, tray packs, bags, IQF and more,” he said. “I’m proud of what our team has accomplished and grateful for all of our trading partners,” Spence said.
