Hippo Harvest Launches Organic Packaged Salad Produce Line
From The Produce Reporter: Hippo Harvest, a grower, packer and shipper of packaged salads, announced the launch of its newly USDA certified organic packaged salad product line.
The product line offers a full selection of leafy green products sourced exclusively from the company’s controlled environment agriculture (CEA) greenhouse, as well as a hybrid blend of greenhouse and field-grown leafy greens.
The company’s novel approach offers key benefits to grocery retailers including a wider assortment of products to meet consumer preferences as compared to other greenhouse growers; and higher quality, longer shelf life and more consistent supply as compared to traditional field growers alone.
“Traditional field-grown and greenhouse-grown produce have each had limitations,” said Hippo Harvest CEO Eitan Marder-Eppstein. “Our USDA organic-certified packaged salads provide the best of both worlds as it relates to cost, quality, surety of supply and scalability for both consumers and grocers.”
