Produce: Packaged
" Packaged produce also offers more variety. A mix of veggies in
one package, like our Garden Blend, is easier than buying three
different bulk items. "
The surge in demand for packaged produce can be seen in the
many recent additions to Gold Coast's product lineup, which has
historically been strongest in broccoli florets, cauliflower florets and
organic baby spinach - still the company's top sellers.
" We've done broccoli florets, cauliflower florets and baby spinach
for years, and in mid-2020 we added more to our 2-pound retail
line, " Chavez said. " We now offer broccoli florets, cauliflower florets,
brussels sprouts, broccoli slaw, Garden Blend (a blend of cauliflower,
broccoli and baby carrots) and broccoli and cauliflower blend, all in
2-pound packs. "
After the launch of the additional items, Gold Coast's customers
asked the company to extend its retail line to also include smaller
packs. The result: in 2021, Gold Coast added 12-ounce versions of all
of its 2-pound packs. It also added a new riced cauliflower offering,
Caulifornia Snow.
