One of the investors, Premium’s original founder and current president Emmitt Pfost, said the group includes "a family of growers, a harvesting company and a highly talented group of individuals with years of experience in value-added vegetable production and sales."Coronet had purchased the firm and its 75,000-square-foot processing facility in 1990 and was operating it as Coronet Foods Western Division. The company offers fresh-cut, processed salad and vegetable products."We have hit the ground running. Everyone on our staff is in high spirits," said Pfost. "Our group is financially sound and extremely committed to the success of Premium Fresh Farms."
