Green Giant Fresh, Oppenheimer and Cal Giant

Jul. 22, 2010

Did you know that it pays to eat your vegetables? Green Giant Fresh and FarmVille are offering online game players and their families a fun incentive to eat their fresh vegetables. In this promotion, selected Green Giant Fresh products contain a packaging sticker that includes a code redeemable online at theGiant.com for 5 Free Farm Cash, one of the official FarmVille currencies that players use to manage virtual farms on Facebook. Green Giant Fresh President Jamie Strachan stated that “By rewarding customers with FarmVille Farm Cash, we can share our real-life farming experience and become a supportive part of their FarmVille online community.”

The Oppenheimer Group has appointed Nolan Quinn to lead its emerging berry category. Mr. Quinn, a 15 year veteran of Oppenheimer, will oversee all aspects of the company’s berry business, from global sourcing to exporting and marketing. Oppenheimer's category consists of berries grown in the U.S., Canada, Chile, Argentina and Mexico, including Ocean Spray Fresh cranberries and blueberries.

Everyone at California Giant Berry Farms rolled up their sleeves as they hosted the sixth annual Skirt Steak Fundraiser Barbecue in Watsonville on July 13th. Over 600 lunches were prepared for members of the community. This year's barbecue raised over $6,000 for local chairities, and Cal Giant President Bill Moncovich stated that "it was great to see our employees working together to support two very worthy organizations."
