Retail natural and organic foods supplier Fresh Harvest Products, Inc., New York City, said it agreed to purchase an unnamed organic and natural frozen food business in Washington state. Terms were not disclosed.
Officials said the acquisition involves a private, 12-year-old-plus business with more than $1 million in annual sales. They said the company's products are distributed to retailers nationwide, including Kroger (certain regions), H-E-B, Albertson's (certain regions), and the largest U.S. natural food retailer.

This acquisition will increase Fresh Harvest's distribution base and revenues. We also believe this acquisition will enhance our shareholders' value as we seek to grow and expand our brands."
Fresh Harvest said it expects to complete the purchase in 60 days, following due diligence by both parties.
