Don Valpredo, 85, co-founded Country Sweet Produce, grower-packer-shipper of the Bako Sweet brand of sweetpotatoes.

Heart Health Month and National Sweet Potato Month present an opportunity to drive consumer engagement and sales with heart-smart choices like sweetpotatoes, the brand says.

Susan Noritake has been instrumental in leading sales and marketing efforts, according to the Bakersfield, Calif.-based brand.
