Organic Pepper Program Grows Forward on Heels of Successful Trial

Ark Foods is growing its organic pepper program after a successful field trial in Florida last fall, marking a new step forward for the specialty produce company as it builds out a broader organic offering for retail and foodservice customers.

Known for its focus on distinctive, high-flavor vegetables and specialty peppers, Ark Foods began testing organic production in South Florida to evaluate quality, consistency, and customer interest. The trial performed strongly, giving the company confidence to expand the program this summer with additional SKUs and new growing locations.

The company’s organic expansion will include a broader lineup of specialty pepper SKUs, with plans to continue scaling production across multiple regions. The goal is to build a more reliable, year-round organic program that gives buyers greater flexibility and consistency.

“Our trial in Florida gave us exactly what we needed: strong quality and grower execution, along with a clear signal that there is room to grow,” says Noah Robbins, Chief Executive Officer of Ark Foods. ““Organic is a natural extension of what Ark Foods already does well. We specialize in vegetables with flavor, color, and personality, and we see a real opportunity to bring that same energy to the organic category.”
