Turning a delicious but odd-shaped fruit into a household favorite wasn’t in the plan when a group of grower-hobbyists banded together in 1924 to form the California Avocado Growers Exchange. And two more years would pass before Rudolph Hass of La Habra, California, would plant the state’s first Hass avocado tree.At the time, avocado growers had no quality standards, no distribution channels, and only one facility, a packinghouse in Vernon, California. During that first year, the Growers Exchange packed 18,000 pounds of avocados from that packinghouse and, in doing so, launched an industry.Though the Vernon packinghouse has long since closed, the company that sprang from that Growers’ Exchange - now known as Calavo Growers, Inc. - is still going strong some 81 years later. In 2005, this publicly traded, diversified, global agribusiness packed approximately 35 percent of the California avocado crop, nearly double the market share of its closest competitor. Three modern packinghouses - strategically located in Santa Paula and Temecula, California, and Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico - teem with productivity and thrive on volume, packing approximately 200 million pounds per year. The company is now headquartered in Santa Paula, California and employs more than 500 people.

While there is not yet published research on Reed’s products, some traditional herbal health values associated with fresh or brewed ginger include headache relief, improved digestion, cardiovascular protection, relief of stomach upset, greater energy, menstrual relief, morning sickness, greater sperm motility, ulcer and arthritis aid, cancer protection, and more.

Farmland Dairies™ was founded in 1914 in Fairlawn, New Jersey. With 10 cows and a wagon, a young farmer and his family sold fresh milk by the ladle, house to house, in Fairlawn. By the 1930's, the family had built their first milk plant. In the 1970's, they built a state-of-the-art facility in Wallington, NJ and attained wider acclaim in 1986 by becoming the first outside dairy granted a license to sell milk in New York City in 70 years. "Big Apple" consumers immediately embraced Farmland and enjoy quality milk at lower prices to this day. With the creation of Special Request™ milk in the 1990's, Farmland gained national recognition for quality, fat-free milk with great taste. Special Request™ was one of the first milk products with a "no added rBST hormone" pledge. It also provided nutritional benefits superior to regular or lower fat milks. Consumers once again recognized Farmland's leadership, making Special Request™ the top selling milk in the NYC metro area. Proud of the traditions of our first 90 years, we continue to build upon the legacies of quality and innovation with new and improved products.
