Superfresh Growers is bringing it farm and nutrition experience to you during United Fresh Live. Each day the company will be hosting an Instagram Live video featuring blueberries or cherries to connect with United Fresh attendees, as well as their social audience. Each day at 12:15pm PDT, join Superfresh Growers to discuss the health benefits of blueberries and cherries. Experience live farm tours, learn about quarantine drinking, and fun and easy recipes to share with the family.
“We are so excited for this first-ever virtual trade show,” said Catherine Gipe-Stewart, communications manager. “We have designed this program to happen right after booth 'power hours' to further extend the booth experience by interacting with live video. We encourage our audience to ask our registered dietitian team and farm team questions as we answer them live.”
Below is the agenda for the week. Each registered dietitian will film live on their own Instagram channel (hyperlinks below), and Superfresh Growers will post it later to its own Instagram and Facebook. The company will be hosting the cherry and blueberry tours on its own Instagram. You can also go to @superfreshgrowers on Instagram for the whole schedule, which will be updated daily.
