J&J Family of Farms® is always looking for ways to attract and bring value to its customers and is introducing its field-grown colored pepper program. The company plans to keep fulfilling consumer demand in new and innovative ways with the new product line.
J&J Family of Farms worked closely with Seminis® in order to bring customers and consumers a unique Field-Grown Colored Pepper that has thick walls and a long shelf life. Seminis is known to bring the latest product offerings to the market.

“We are constantly looking to perfect our produce year after year, and we are confident that we have the best colored pepper variety in the market.” said Chris Coffman, Sr. VP, Marketing and Strategy. “We are excited to bring our field-grown colored peppers to the market. It’s dense and yields a higher net weight, making it excellent for processors. We believe it’s going to take time to educate our customers about this new field-grown colored pepper, but once they have it in their hands, they will experience the quality and great taste for themselves.”
Throughout the years, Seminis has worked closely with farmers across the U.S. in efforts to identify the disease resistance packages they are looking for, in order to provide quality produce. J&J Family of Farms was looking to find a pepper that would be competitive with greenhouse grown colored bell pepper, and collaborating with the Seminis team was the best way to assure the finest was obtained.
“We are extremely excited about our field-grown red and yellow pepper pipeline. Our breeders have focused on bringing the right combination of quality, yield and disease resistance into a field-grown colored pepper program” said Jonathan Mein, Ph.D., Pepper Product Manager. “Our goal, ultimately, is to put more, better-looking, higher quality fruit in the hands of consumers. We knew J&J was the perfect grower to collaborate with and turn that vision into a reality.”
This growing season has resulted in good crops and excellent yields in Florida. The new field-grown red and yellow pepper are available now, and interested customers can contact J&J Family of Farms for more information.
