Frey Farms opens new facility for juice processing
Frey Farms has opened a new 70,000 square-foot processing center at one of its farms located in Poseyville, Indiana. The facility will produce cold-pressed juice and puree ingredients.
“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.
Frey Farms is a producer of fresh fruits and vegetables including watermelon, cantaloupe, sweet corn, hard squash, peppers and pumpkins. 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.
Tsamma Watermelon Juice was founded by Frey in 2014 and is produced and bottled by Frey Farms. The two companies operate farms and facilities located in Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, and West Virginia.
