million boxes of stone fruit and table grapes, and 15 million boxes of citrus per year. More than two-

thirds of the fruit is owned and farmed by the Parnagian Family, with the balance coming from

experienced and dedicated growers closely associated with the business. Sam Parnagian saw a vision

of opportunity in the produce business and possessed all the attributes necessary to implement his

advances in western fruit packing: Hydrocooling, innovative packaging, and shipping “tree ripe” fruit.

soil of Kern County more than 3 decades ago. Today, their roots run deep. Grimmway Farms has

grown to become the largest grower, producer and shipper of carrots in the world; but the family still

insists on walking the fields, visiting the processing facilities and performing their own brand of

quality assurance - every single day. In 1968 when Rod and Bob Grimm set up their first roadside

produce stand, the brothers made a promise: always take care of the customer. Decades later, that

promise has never been broken. Grimmway Farms' dedication to consistent quality and dependable

service has made us the global leader in our industry. Yet no matter how the size and scope of our

company grows, every Grimmway employee is committed to staying true to our founding

philosophies: provide good value, honest pricing and conduct business with integrity. Grimmway

believes in providing service to our customers on a personal level. We believe that today's consumer

wants food products that are innovative, exciting and nutritious. All good reasons Grimmway

chooses to partner with other industry forerunners to develop creative new product ideas our

consumers and their families will enjoy. Acknowledging and responding to the issues important to

our customers is important to us. To address the growing consumer demand for pesticide-free fruits

and vegetables, Grimmway Farms is continuously developing new avenues of opportunity. In 2001,

we acquired Cal-Organics, a pioneer organic produce company providing more than 75 organic

product offerings. For more information, visit www.grimmway.com.

Renaissance Food Group

About Us… Renaissance Food Group was started out of competitive necessity in December 2003! At

the time, we were a very strong regional fresh-cut processor in an environment that required a

national platform. To achieve this, all strategic thought processes certainly went into play. We

wanted to position manufacturing operations close to our important customers in order to offer a

one-day order-delivery cycle. We wanted to offer a strong, innovative product set that would

differentiate us from the competition, and allow us to market inside multiple categories within these

customers. We embarked on efforts to lead the industry in food safety and product quality, which

required developing processes. RFG has created various lines and challenged the existing thought

process for how a manufacturing plant should look and operate! At the heart of Renaissance Food

Group, our “way” if you will, is the premise upon which we were founded; the power of “YES!” We

did not come to this market with anything but the attitude of our awesome, hardworking,

professional, dedicated people. We grew this company person by person, with each filling important,

critical roles. Our response to our customers, our response to obstacles, our response to challenges

has always been and always will be “YES!” Today, we are growing dynamically, challenging ourselves

to venture into new and different markets, pushing to build new facilities and innovate new

products, all because our customers want us to. They challenge us with more technical products and

processes, and look for tighter delivery cycles and more information. Our customers ask us to source

from many more vendors and carry a broader supply of inventories, thus expanding our product sets

and offerings. And of course, what is our answer to all this?YES, because that’s the way we want it!
