The 2024 Viva Fresh Expo is less than a month away and the team at the Texas International Produce Association is particularly thrilled about three highly engaging opportunities for attendees to experience the best of Houston while networking with their industry peers.

The Texas International Produce Association (TIPA) proudly invites industry members to apply for this year’s challenge which will kick off in mid-October and will culminate at the 2024 Viva Fresh Expo in Houston on April 13th.

GRAPEVINE, TX—I’m a bit of a homer here with Viva Fresh, as I’ve been involved with the show since its inception. This year’s event boasted record attendance and huge enthusiasm from both organizers and attendees.

Pamela misses out on playing in Viva Fresh golf in Grapevine, TX, so instead visits some local retailers and reports HEB does things differently in Dallas than Austin.

The Texas International Produce Association’s 7th annual event was packed from the first of two sold-out golf tournaments on April 21 through to the very end of trade show break-down on April 23.  

Pamela appears from Dallas, just after the golf tournament at the annual Viva Fresh event, which she says will be as big as ever.

Both events have a focus on ways to improve produce consumption and healthier eating.
