RICHVALE — Lundberg Family Farms has earned top honors for Ag Innovation at the coveted 29th annual Regional Innovation Awards. The Innovation awards are a testament of the commitment to business success occurring in the 530 region. The lively evening was host to an audience that came to see the winners selected from among 100 finalists in 25 categories. Hosted and organized originally by CEPCO and since 2012 by Innovate North State, the 29th annual Innovation Awards are an annual event since 1984 and have expanded to include the entire 530 area code, encompassing most of California North of Sacramento. Prior award winners include market leading companies such as Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and Build.com. Companies and professionals are honored because of their tremendous achievements conducive to innovation and their game changing impact, not only locally, but statewide, nationally and globally. Homer Lundberg accepted the award on behalf of Lundberg Family Farms. "The Lundberg Family has always been known as an agriculture innovator in the Sacramento Valley. At times, we were even called 'those crazy Lundbergs' for some of our groundbreaking inventions," said Homer Lundberg. "I am proud that Lundberg's third generation continues the family tradition of agricultural innovation and am thrilled that they are being recognized for their efforts by their peers with this award." "The annual Innovation Awards Dinner represents our once-a-year hallmark gala event honoring the phenomenal business success occurring in organization performance, products and services, executives and professionals, educators and civic throughout the '530' region," Innovate North State's Managing Director Jon Gregory said. "We are honored to have the opportunity to showcase the tremendous success stories of business and civic leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and professionals who are leaders in their respected industries."
