Serves growers, customers
Jack Brown Produce President John
Schaefer said the shareholder-owned
corporation represents about 75 growers
in west Michigan from Charlevoix to the
state border with Indiana.
" Both Jack Brown Produce and
Riveridge Produce have complementary
grower communities making this union
a natural fit, " Schafer said. " We each have
modern packing plants and growers
invested in the future, utilizing the latest
growing techniques and moving forward
on the varieties and strains for today's
consumer preferences. "
Jack Brown Produce was formed by
a group of growers who joined in the
1950s, Armock said. While Riveridge
has essentially purchased its sales office,
Jack Brown growers still own its packing
plant and
storage facilities,
Armock said,
because it's
necessary for
them to be able
to service their
crop. Seven
other Michigan
facilities pack
for Riveridge
Produce. A large
number of packinghouses provide an
opportunity for growers to be paired with
the right customer for their fruit, based on
apple variety, size and pack type.

for Michigan growers, Riveridge also

will be sold under a variety of brands,
including Apple Ridge, Riveridge and
store brands.
" Depending on what the customer
desires, that's what we're going to deliver, "
Armock said. " We're a very customerand-grower-centric
company. We know
that our job is to match up the fruit with
the customer. It's kind of a two-way
street. Growers need to know what it is
the market is looking for and the market
needs to know what's available and where
we're heading. " FGN
