Walmart Joins Riveridge Produce Marketing for Tour

Just in time for “International Eat an Apple Day,” several local Walmart leaders and store managers joined representatives from Riveridge Produce Marketing for a farm and facility tour. The event brought together local growers, business stakeholders and policymakers to celebrate the impact of locally sourced food on communities across Michigan.

The event highlighted the contributions of Riveridge Produce Marketing, a vertically integrated apple grower, packer and marketer headquartered in Sparta, MI. The Riveridge label represents apples from nearly 200 family orchards, providing for nearly 60% of Michigan’s fresh apple crop. Additionally, fresh-pressed cider can be found under the same label year-round.
