In carrots, Grimmway Farms will showcase a full range of conventional and organic offerings, including whole, baby, chips, and shredded formats. Products are available in bilingual packaging tailored for the Canadian market, with organic rainbow carrots providing added visual differentiation. As one of the highest-penetrated items in produce, carrots continue to offer growth opportunities across snacking, cooking, and entertaining.

Cal-Organic Farms will feature more than 65 year-round and seasonal organic vegetables available for export to Canada, including expanded value-added offerings such as dark leafy greens and fresh-cut items that meet increasing demand for convenience.

“We value our partnerships across Canada, and CPMA provides an important opportunity to showcase our organic assortment while continuing to build on those relationships,” said Bob Borda, SVP Category Sales, Organic Vegetables.

The Canadian organic market remains strong, with nearly two-thirds of consumers purchasing organic products weekly. “Canada is a relationship-driven market, and CPMA creates an environment where conversations quickly turn into action,” Callaghan added. “It’s an opportunity to collaborate with customers and translate ideas into programs that deliver results.”

Grimmway Produce Group™ will exhibit at booth 831, where attendees can experience the portfolio firsthand. Throughout the show, the company’s corporate chef will prepare Tasteful Selections Nibbles, offering a live demonstration of product quality, flavor, and versatility.
