Kalispell Mont.-based Access Organics Inc. added a citrus program during its 25th year in business in 2022, said owner and founder Bonnie Poux.
The company is the exclusive sales and marketing team for Benzler Farms, a citrus pioneer based in Fresno, Calif., and markets the Benzler Farms brand of navel and valencia oranges, grapefruit, lemons and mandarins.
Ryan San Jose, who was hired as sales manager in the fall, is leading the citrus program. He has 20 years of organic produce experience, most recently with Rainbow Valley Orchards in Fallbrook, Calif.
The company also rebranded the Benzler Farms logo.
“We are really excited to roll out the new [Benzler Farms] Mighty Lil Mandarin bags when the fruit gets to maturity in February,” Poux said.
Access Organics also has updated its own logo and is upgrading its website — accessorganics.com — social media platforms and committing to season-long sales programs, she said.
