A partnership has been formed between Veg-Fresh Farms of Corona, CA and citrus grower-packer Redlands Foothill Groves, allowing Veg-Fresh to ship citrus the year-round.
Based in Redlands, CA, the citrus cooperative has over 80 growers of navels, Valencias, grapefruits and lemons, which are packed in the last operating packinghouse in San Bernardino County, according to a news release.
“In addition, being located just 30 miles from our Corona facility, it provides our customers the logistic advantage that we have found so valuable being located in the Inland Empire,” Veg-Fresh managing partner Dino Cancellieri Jr. said in the release.
The partnership will expand retail and foodservice opportunities, Veg-Fresh Farms citrus director Jacob Garcia said, referring to the 96-year-old Redlands Foothill Groves as a “storied packinghouse” that has continued to invest in fruit-grading technologies to improve packing.

Corona, CA – For the second year in a row, Veg-Fresh Farms is supporting NASCAR K&N Pro Series West competition driver Blaine Perkins as a season sponsor.
Perkins, the teenaged son of Ryan Perkins, director of sales at Bakersfield stalwart Delano Farms, will be driving for his second year under the tutelage of veteran NASCAR driver Steve Portenga. In 2016 (his rookie season), Perkins tallied ten top-10 finishes in fourteen appearances and has been dubbed “a rising star” by NASCAR journalists.
With this sponsorship, Veg-Fresh Farms will place the logo of its organic brand, Good Life Organic™, on the hood of Perkins’ race car. Other sponsors include Four Star Fruit, Golden Gate Meat Company, and Double Eagle Produce.
“We’re excited to partner again with Veg-Fresh Farms along with all our other great sponsors –they help make each season possible. We’re looking forward to having our friends at Veg-Fresh cheering Blaine on at our Irwindale race coming up March 25!” said Ryan Perkins at Delano Farms.
“We’re proud to support Blaine in another year of his racing career. Not only do we see this as an excellent way to honor our friendship and partnership with the Delano Farms team, but we also see value in getting our organic brand in front of Blaine’s fans and social media followers. That generation is queued to be the next one making purchase decisions at the store, so we’re excited about the idea of getting in front of them now,” said Dino Cancellieri, General Partner at Veg-Fresh Farms.
The 2017 K&N Pro Series season kicked off in February, with more races scheduled throughout the spring, summer, and late fall. Perkins’ races will be broadcast live on NBC Sports throughout the season.
