Magic Sun Farms offers a new bell pepper program

Magic Sun Farms (Globalmex International)  is offering a new conventional bell pepper program this year, said David Kyzer, regional sales manager for the Richmond, Va.-based company.

“We do colored peppers – all sizes of yellow, red and orange,” Kyzer said on April 23 at the Viva Fresh Expo in Grapevine, Texas. The bell program is new this year; Magic Sun Farms also offers greenhouse-grown conventional and organic cocktail tomatoes, tomatoes on the vine and beefsteak tomatoes.

All together, Magic Sun Farms has about 230 acres of combined greenhouse production north of Mexico City, he said. Computer-controlled systems manage nutrient and environment, which Kyzer said produces a very consistent product.

Anthony Otto, sales manager for Magic Sun Farms, said the firm also is in its second year of marketing blueberries grown in hoops in the state of Jalisco in Mexico. Blueberry volume is year-round from Jalisco, with lower volume in the summer and heavier volume in the fall and winter.
