Fresh from Florida, Fresh Attitude™ salads are now 100 % grown and packaged in Belle Glade to supply Publix stores across the state

BELLE-GLADE, Fla., Dec. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Every winter, Veg Pro International relies on its Belle Glade farms and facilities to produce its popular salads sold under the Fresh Attitude™ brand. From the end of November to the end of April, crops of baby lettuce, baby spinach and kale, as well as romaine and iceberg lettuce, are harvested from our 1,100 acres in Florida.

The baby lettuce and greens from our Belle Glade processing plant, which is open year-round, supply fresh salad mixes to Publix Supermarkets. In season, our salad blends are specially labeled with the "Fresh from Florida" logo, an important part of Veg Pro's dedication to providing consumers with local produce whenever possible. Veg Pro is also proud to contribute to Florida's local economy through its farming and food processing activities.

Media representatives are invited to take part in an official tour of our Belle Glade fields and facilities on December 16th, 2014 at 10:00 AM. Media will have the opportunity to take pictures of the installations, question a member of the company's executive committee and of course, to have a taste of the latest innovations to be sold at Publix.
