Lenexa, Kan., (March 13, 2020) — In light of government and public concerns around gatherings due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 risk to public wellbeing, Farm Journal and The Packer announced today the West Coast Produce Expo and Sustainable Produce Summit have been postponed from late May to August 20-22, 2020. These events will take place at their original location, the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa, Palm Desert, Calif.
