Frey Farms Opens Processing Hub in Poseyville, Indiana
10/18/2017
The new 70,000 square-foot facility is designed to produce large batch quantities of cold-pressed juice and puree ingredients. The new facility will add a number of jobs to the Southern Indiana region.
The Poseyville juicery will now be the company's central location for processing 6,000 gallons of cold-pressed, unpasteurized watermelon juice per day. The company anticipates more than 300 tons of Frey Farms watermelons coming through the facility each week during the season to expand the opportunities in the foodservice industry.
Each watermelon undergoes a proprietary process that uses minimal processing techniques to cold extract the juice and chill it to near freezing within minutes. Frey Farms is now applying a successful and effective vertical integration. The Poseyville facility completes all stages of production in-house.
"This is a significant milestone that expands our family business beyond providing fresh fruits and vegetables. Ingredient production is a natural extension for our farms and a strategic growth opportunity for Tsamma Juice" said Sarah Frey, CEO of Frey Farms and Founder of Tsamma Watermelon Juice. "With the opening of the processing facility, we're able to closely monitor the use of raw materials and ensure the watermelons used for juicing are fresh, leading to superior quality for our existing retail partnerships and new customer opportunities."
