While there are many brands of fresh vegetables on the market, Glory Foods(R) is betting that customers will continue to promote the brand that has become a household favorite in homes throughout the country. "Our canned greens are already the number one seller in the category," said Michael Brown, Director of Agri-Business Development for Glory's Fresh Produce Division. "With our fresh bagged greens we are offering customers another alternative in the preparation of their greens. Customers trust Glory Foods(R) to deliver on its promise of providing convenience and good taste with its products, and these fresh products promote the attributes that consumers value - healthy meal solutions under a recognizable brand name."

Providing healthy product is a commitment, and assisting Glory Foods(R) in that effort is a small group of African-American growers from Arkansas who grow the greens and sweet potatoes and distribute to processing facilities in Dallas and Atlanta for Glory Foods(R). "The Black farming community continues to play an important role in helping to grow our products," said Brown. "The farmers we work with give us a consistently good product," adds Brown.

Glory Foods'(R) family of products including seasoned canned vegetables, condiments, Savory(TM) frozen family-size and single serve entrees and side dishes are available nationally in local supermarkets.
