Stemilt Named Role Model in Healthy Eating Campaign

For the 9^th consecutive year, Stemilt Growers has been named a Role Model for the Produce for Better Health Foundation’s (PBH) Fruits and Veggies—More Matters® consumer campaign.

Stemilt was the first industry/non-retail business to be named a role model back in 2007.

To be a role model, a company must work to increase familiarity with the More Matters campaign, particularly with moms and children.

Communications Manager Brianna Shales says they are proud to be a part of this effort noting, “Advocating for a cause that encourages individuals to make healthier decisions and choose fresh fruits is one thing we strive for as a company.”

The Produce for Better Health Foundation’s goal is to encourage individuals to increase their daily intake of fruits and vegetables.
