SunFed and Verdant Technologies are rethinking produce quality from the ground up. With HarvestHold Fresh, we’re transforming how we pack our Perfect Cucumbers — boosting efficiency and slashing plastic by over 90%. This simple change keeps cucumbers fresher for longer while making a big impact on sustainability. This season, our partnership means more than produce; it’s about driving forward with purpose, innovation, and respect for the environment. Freshness meets responsibility, every step of the way.
