Seattle-based FC Bloxom Co. has welcomed three new members to its sales team, said William Bloxom, an owner of the company. Joining FC Bloxom are:

  • Jose Cardoza, potato and onion specialist, most recently with Easterday Farms Produce Co, Pasco, Wash.;
  • Evan Crosett, California mixed vegetable specialist, who joins the company from outside the industry; and
  • Joe Stilnovich, who comes from a farming family and will handle potato sales.

The company offers yellow, red, white and sweet onions. Bloxom said the company’s onion acreage will be the same this year as last year, but he expected higher yields. Harvesting was underway in mid-July and will run through September or October.
