According to an article at ThePacker.com, Legend Produce starts harvesting at its new growing operation in Phoenix. Rick Crispo, partner in the Glendale, Ariz.-based company, said towards The Packer that the inaugural harvest likely will be in March. All produce from the greenhouse will be marketed under the Four Peaks brand that Legend recently launched.
“Our intention is to keep all of the produce from the greenhouse in the Arizona market,” Crispo said in late December to The Packer. “When harvest is in full swing, we expect 35,000 to 45,000 pounds a week.” According to The Packer, Legend’s grower Willem Doleman is supervising operations at the 1-acre greenhouse, where the company is growing tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and eggplants.
