GRIMMWAY ENTERPRISES,
INC.
The story of Grimmway begins right here in an agricultural haven known as the Southern San Joaquin
Valley in central California. The Grimm brothers began nurturing their family business in the fertile
soil of Kern County more than 3 decades ago. Today, their roots run deep. Grimmway Farms has
grown to become the largest grower, producer and shipper of carrots in the world; but the family still
insists on walking the fields, visiting the processing facilities and performing their own brand of
quality assurance - every single day. In 1968 when Rod and Bob Grimm set up their first roadside
produce stand, the brothers made a promise: always take care of the customer. Decades later, that
promise has never been broken. Grimmway Farms' dedication to consistent quality and dependable
service has made us the global leader in our industry. Yet no matter how the size and scope of our
company grows, every Grimmway employee is committed to staying true to our founding
philosophies: provide good value, honest pricing and conduct business with integrity. Grimmway
believes in providing service to our customers on a personal level. We believe that today's consumer
wants food products that are innovative, exciting and nutritious. All good reasons Grimmway
chooses to partner with other industry forerunners to develop creative new product ideas our
consumers and their families will enjoy. Acknowledging and responding to the issues important to
our customers is important to us. To address the growing consumer demand for pesticide-free fruits
and vegetables, Grimmway Farms is continuously developing new avenues of opportunity. In 2001,
we acquired Cal-Organics, a pioneer organic produce company providing more than 75 organic
product offerings. For more information, visit www.grimmway.com.

Renaissance Food Group
About Us… Renaissance Food Group was started out of competitive necessity in December 2003! At
the time, we were a very strong regional fresh-cut processor in an environment that required a
national platform. To achieve this, all strategic thought processes certainly went into play. We
wanted to position manufacturing operations close to our important customers in order to offer a
one-day order-delivery cycle. We wanted to offer a strong, innovative product set that would
differentiate us from the competition, and allow us to market inside multiple categories within these
customers. We embarked on efforts to lead the industry in food safety and product quality, which
required developing processes. RFG has created various lines and challenged the existing thought
process for how a manufacturing plant should look and operate! At the heart of Renaissance Food
Group, our “way” if you will, is the premise upon which we were founded; the power of “YES!” We
did not come to this market with anything but the attitude of our awesome, hardworking,
professional, dedicated people. We grew this company person by person, with each filling important,
critical roles. Our response to our customers, our response to obstacles, our response to challenges
has always been and always will be “YES!” Today, we are growing dynamically, challenging ourselves
to venture into new and different markets, pushing to build new facilities and innovate new
products, all because our customers want us to. They challenge us with more technical products and
processes, and look for tighter delivery cycles and more information. Our customers ask us to source
from many more vendors and carry a broader supply of inventories, thus expanding our product sets
and offerings. And of course, what is our answer to all this?YES, because that’s the way we want it!

Urban Produce LLC
The Urban Produce High Density Vertical Growing System (HDVGS) has been developed as a
sustainable alternative to traditional agriculture, utilizing advanced hydroponic technologies in a
controlled environment. Our patented technology takes the best of hydroponics and increases the
yield by stacking produce vertically, in a closed automated environment. Our produce rotates in the
greenhouse giving all our product equal light and air distribution. This automated system delivers the
proper amount of water, and nutrition exactly when needed. The process greatly increases growing
efficiency and significantly reduces costs. Our objective is to build Urban Farms worldwide, bringing
fresh produce back to the cities where consumers can buy and eat locally grown product, all while
creating jobs in the community and simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint. We will build 25
Urban Farms over the next 3-5 years.
