Throughout its journey, Crystal Valley Foods has embraced innovation and industry best practices to meet the needs of its customers. As one of the first companies to import Peruvian asparagus, Crystal Valley Foods helped create and establish the current asparagus box and was among the early adopters of the food safety protocols that are now mandatory for every fresh produce company to do business.
The company has plans to work on new environmentally friendly packaging, lowering energy usage, more sustainable growing practices and on improved ways to support the health, wellness and everyday lives of their employees, among other practices. They also plan on continuing to grow and diversify their product line, as well as increase investment in innovation, infrastructure and automation.
“As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’re not just reflecting on our past achievements but also looking forward with a clear vision for the future,” Rodriguez said. “We are excited and ready for the potential ahead of us.”
