“His passion for the onion industry as well as his experience in and knack for relationship building will be integral as we continue to find new ways to partner with retailers outside of our annual programs,” G&R Farms CEO Blake Dasher said in the release. “Kelby’s exposure to both fresh and storage onions will be invaluable as he takes on a more strategic role.”

Werner joined G&R Farms, located in Glennville, Georgia, in 2013 in a janitorial role. His roles grew to include managing packing operations, supply chain operations and retail customers sales. During the past year, he has served as lead on the production team for all retail packing with responsibilities including staff training, warehouse oversight and inspecting fresh product.
