Markon lettuce and salad processors make seasonal transition

April 8, 2025 — Markon Cooperative’s BB #:123315 source-based suppliers of value-added salad items follow the seasonal lettuce transition in the fall and spring.

Relocating their processing capabilities allows them to pack the freshest product possible and achieve optimum quality and shelf-life.

The process of disassembling, transporting, and reassembling equipment for full-scale production in less than three days is a huge undertaking.

By the week of April 14, all of Markon’s Salinas-based value-added suppliers will be shipping from Salinas, CA.

Markon’s Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) lettuce and salad processors move with the seasons twice a year—from our origin in California’s Salinas Valley to Yuma, Arizona, in the fall and back again every spring to ensure the highest quality and freshest products.

This hard-working team travels over 571 miles and rebuilds their facility within 72 hours. This journey requires disassembling, transporting, and reassembling equipment for full-scale production in less than three days.
