OXFORD, N.C – Bailey Farms, the leading family-operated U.S. grower-shipper of specialty peppers, announces expanded year-round availability of its sweet and crunchy BellaFina peppers to Western markets starting January 2017.
Thanks to their newly expanded growing partnerships based in Culiacan Mexico, Bailey Farms will now offer their unique product line to expanded markets and will ship out of Nogales, Arizona and McAllen, Texas. BellaFina peppers are a third of the size of full-sized bell peppers, with a sweet and crunchy texture and incredible versatility. The petite size offers flexibility of preparation to minimize waste and they can be used in everything from appetizers to main dishes to add vibrant color and delightful flavor.
“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our BellaFina program and take the success we’ve experienced in the East to new Western markets,” said Randy Bailey, owner, president and co-founder of Bailey Farms. “Our partnerships in Mexico allow us to better serve our customers and continue to grow the category.”
Bailey Farms BellaFina peppers will be available in 2-count single serve, 12 ounce and 2-pound poly bags to retail partners in the West.
This expansion to the Western program does not affect the already-established program in the East, where, Bailey Farms grows peppers out of Florida and Georgia, in addition to their Oxford, N.C. headquarters. Items offered include 3-count rainbow sleeves, 12 ounce, 1-pound and 2-pound poly bags.
The entire Bailey Farms product line, including all BellaFina products, will be featured at this year’s PMA Fresh Summit in Orlando at their booth (#4663).
