Sliced apple companies to merge

Arable Capital Partners has acquired Farmington Fresh Cuts, a California based processor of fresh sliced apples, oranges, pears and other packaged fruits. Farmington will be merged with Fresh Innovations, which is owned by Arable, to add to the investment company’s presence in the fresh sliced fruit category.

Arable said Farmington’s location next to the Stockton Metropolitan Airport and nearby highways provides access to both suppliers and customers. Further, it said Farmington has a long-standing customer base in California, serving the school, foodservice and retail segments.
