Los Angeles-based Gourmet Trading Company has appointed Caylan Gingerich to head up its east coast procurement.
The group, a year-round distributor of fresh asparagus and blueberries, is looking to expand its grower base, among other things.
“We’re excited about the addition of Caylan to our team and expanding our grower base,' said Gourmet Trading Company vice-president of procurement Scott Hulsey. 'Her ambition and experience in the different facets of the produce industry allows her to better understand the business.'
Gingerich grew up in Oregon on a blueberry and hazelnut farm. After studying International Business at Messiah College in Pennsylvania she returned to the family farm to partake in hazelnut harvest. She then worked at Giumarra in sales for a year.
