The United Fresh Produce Association has
promoted Mary Coppola to Vice Pres-
ident, Marketing & Communications.
Coppola joined the association in the
fall of 2014, spearheading the organi-
zation's marketing and communica-
tions efforts.
"When Mary joined our team, we
asked her to take on two major tasks,"
said United Fresh President and Chief
Executive Officer Tom Stenzel. "First, she
focused on growing the association's mar-
keting and communications capacity to de-
liver targeted messaging to our members
and broader fresh produce industry.
"Equally important, Mary also took on
the role of staff liaison to the association's
Produce Marketing & Merchandising
Council, a group of 45 leading marketing
professionals from our member companies.
Working with these volunteer leaders,
Mary has helped create a strong profes-
sional community of produce marketers
that is helping our industry bring great new
products to consumers around the
world," he said.
The Produce Marketing & Mer-
chandising Council is known for
organizing and hosting Brand-
Storm™, the industry's premiere
interactive learning and profes-
sional development event for pro-
duce marketers. The fourth annual
BrandStorm conference took place in San
Francisco in February.
"Congratulations to Mary on this great
and well-earned career step," said Mark
Munger, Vice President, Sales & Marketing,
4Earth Farms and Chairman of United
Fresh's Produce Marketing & Merchandis-
ing Council.
To learn more about BrandStorm and the
Produce Marketing & Merchandising
Council, contact Mary Coppola, Vice Pres-
ident of Marketing & Communications at

United Fresh Promotes Mary Coppola to Vice
President, Marketing & Communications
Now in its 15th year, the Oregon Cheese
Festival is a farmer's market style event cel-
ebrating cheese and everything that goes
with it. Over the years it has grown into
one of the largest cheese-themed festivals
in the country – drawing artisan cheese-
makers, vintners, brewers, and specialty
food producers to showcase their products
to an ever-growing crowd of cheese enthu-
siasts.
This year's event will take place March 16
and 17 in an expanded location, spanning
north from the traditional venue at Rogue
Creamery to the newly refurbished Crater-
Works MakerSpace on Front Street in Cen-
tral Point, Oregon.
Alongside cheeses from Rogue Creamery,
Face Rock Creamery, Cypress Grove,
Spring Brook Farm Cheese and many more,
festivalgoers will sample specialty foods
such as charcuterie, jams and jellies, olive
oil, honey, chocolate, breads and crackers,
pickled vegetables, nuts and more. To wash
it all down, more than 30 craft wine, beer,
cider, and spirits producers will be pouring
libations for the
crowd. In total there
will be more than
100 Oregon and
other Northwest
culinary artisans &
beverage providers.
New in 2019, at-
tendees will have
the added advantage
of complimentary
parking at Crater
High School, just
one block north of
the Festival. An
FFA-sponsored stu-
dent fair featuring
students and the animals they have raised,
along with a student-led plant sale, will
also take place adjacent to the parking area
during Festival hours.
Tickets purchased in advance are $15
and include tastings and demonstrations;
day-of ticket purchases are $20. Tickets are
available for sale at www.oregonchesefesti-
val.com, along with an optional $10 adult
beverage tasting add-on that includes a
commemorative tasting glass. Kids 12 and
under taste for free. Early VIP entry (10:30
a.m.) is an additional $15 and includes a
goodie bag.
The Oregon Cheese Festival would not
be possible without the generous support
of the City of Central Point, Rogue Cream-
ery, Tillamook, Face Rock Creamery, Wan-
dering Aengus/Anthem Cider, Rogue Ales,
34 Degrees, Franz Bakery, Southern Oregon
Magazine, Rosebud Media/Mail Tribune,
and the members of the Oregon Cheese
Guild.
