Pioneer Growers marks its 75th anniversary this year, celebrating a history of bringing farmers to market and partnering with over 30 growers from across the country and Latin America, according to a news release.

Founded in 1950 and with offices in Florida and Georgia, Pioneer Growers is a farmer-owned cooperative dedicated to connecting premium produce with global markets. The co-op said it bridges the gap between growers and consumers, delivering fresh produce year-round for a true farm-to-table experience. Its state-of-the-art, food-safe facility ensures top-notch packing and distribution, upholding the highest standards of quality, the company said.

“Our goal is to honor our past while embracing our future,” said Stewart Mann, Pioneer Growers vice president.

To commemorate this milestone, Pioneer Growers will be at the International Fresh Produce Association’s Global Produce and Floral Show in Atlanta, Oct. 17-19. Attendees are invited to visit Pioneer Growers at booth No. 1549 to learn more about the company’s history, achievements and future plans, as well as to discuss current and potential partnerships.
