Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and other state officials will be on hand to celebrate the opening of the Walker River Cooling facility in Yerington, Nev.
The Aug. 29 ribbon cutting will include remarks by the governor, as well as David Peri, president of Peri & Sons Farms and Tom Nunes V, vice president of operations at the Nunes Co. The facility is a joint venture between the two companies. The facility has been in use since mid-May.
“The completion of Walker River Cooling brings our operations full circle here in Yerington as every aspect of farming produce — from growing and packing the organics to distribution all across the country — happens right here in Mason Valley,” said David Peri, president of Peri & Sons, in a news release. “Thanks to the shared vision and partnership with The Nunes Company, we have positioned our operations for continued growth and expansion to meet the demands of the marketplace.”
The facility allows the companies to grow, pack and directly ship faster, according to the release.
