Bengard PMA Foodservice 2012



Welcome to Shop Talk! On this episode, Joe Kaslin, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Bengard Ranch joins AndNowUKnow to share the company’s latest and greatest. The company is a full line commodity shipper of foodservice items including everything from lettuce, green onions, and broccoli to cauliflower. The grower does not do anything vale-added; just bulk items that the company supplies to regional processors throughout the country
What makes the company unique, according to Mr. Kaslin, is that they are a direct grower; the single grower; the largest grower in Salinas, California and that gives the company a closer relationship with the actual end user allowing them to control everything that the company does.
The company’s biggest volume item is lettuce, followed by broccoli and cauliflowers – all the leaf items, including romaine.
