There is no doubt that Tweeting is an art form. Many attempt to maximize those 140 characters to make their brand and industry stand out, and fresh produce has some standouts no doubt. Without strategy, practice and consistency, being relevant and useful on Twitter is nearly impossible.

As a social media management team and as #freshproduce Tweeters ourselves on @TheCoreBlog and @WhyNotFresh, we spend hours each day posting and interacting with fellow Tweeters in the Twittersphere. We are happy to report that there are a number of fresh produce companies AND individuals doing it right – making great progress spreading the story about fresh fruits and vegetables. Like so many other artistic platforms, good Twitter communities deserve recognition for their efforts, so without further adieu here are 22 companies and individuals who have earned our designation as Twitter powerhouses within the #freshproduce industry.
