Each ear of Fresh Life Harvest Whole Ear Gourmet Sweet Corn starts out as single, individually wrapped, fully shucked, washed and ready-to-cook ear. It is then assembled and merchandised in three forms: as a retail grab-and-go item, prepared as a foodservice product, or in a 4-pack for retail, and 8-pack for club stores.

Each product is packed in a cardboard box with informational graphics that can be vertically merchandised in a refrigerated case. The retail pricing strategy varies depending upon the sales channel. The product will be available year-round and aims to boost sweet corn sales beyond the traditional selling window of April through the 4th of July.

“Our goal with the Fresh Life Harvest brand is two-fold. First, to create cutting-edge products using commodities where we own strong, vertically-integrated production and packaging facilities. Secondly, to have a pipeline of creative, fresh and timely meal and snack solutions in order to proactively target exciting non-traditional selling channels as well as the established market that wants safely secured supply, best-in-class quality and next level innovation. Our industry’s significant future revenue growth will, in large part, be a direct result of those who can capture more revenue value by thinking it up better and bring classy execution to relevant innovation,” explains Next Level Fresh’s managing partner, Daniel Whittles.
