FRESNO, CA - Two top-performing brands are entering the spotlight during Southern Exposure as Fowler Packing Company showcases its Peelz Citrus lineup and Samsons® grape program, including the coveted Sorbet variety.

“The show’s timing makes it the ideal setting to connect with partners and plan for domestic and import citrus, as well as the upcoming California grape season,” shares Maile Frelinger, Director of Business Development, ahead of the show. “As the industry comes together at this key planning moment, Fowler is sharing what’s next in grape innovation—expanding our premium offerings and building excitement for the seasons ahead.”

With a commitment to operational excellence from farming and packing to logistics and execution, Fowler Packing Company takes an intentional and disciplined approach to growth. Backed by state-of-the-art operations and the expertise of its team, Fowler is strategically positioned to consistently perform at an elite standard.

“What truly sets Fowler apart is our people,” Maile says. “Technology and AI may support the work, but they will never replace the experience, accountability, and pride our team brings to the job. At Fowler, people are the engine. When great people, great product, and disciplined execution come together, the results speak for themselves, and that’s what keeps us leading in fresh produce.”

From citrus to grapes, Fowler’s partners can expect bold flavor, trusted quality, and premium programs designed to elevate the category.

“After an unprecedented year in citrus, Southern Exposure feels especially meaningful. It is a moment to connect, align, and look ahead together, while being respectful of the time and sacrifices our partners make to be there,” Maile explains. “Southern Exposure allows for meaningful, focused time with partners. It’s a chance to reconnect with our Peelz and Samsons partners, have honest conversations, and strengthen relationships without the noise that often comes with larger trade shows. We also recognize that this is the busiest time of the year for everyone involved. That’s why we’re incredibly intentional with how we use the time we’re given.”

Building a foundation for future growth, Fowler Packing plans to continue investing in the momentum of its core brands, expanding the reach of Peelz citrus and the success of its Samsons® grape program while investing in next-generation grape and citrus varieties, including organics. The supplier is also fortifying its import citrus program to complement its year-round offerings, entering an exciting new phase for both its citrus and grape categories.
