United Fresh :: United Fresh Produce Association United Fresh Produce Association If You Know Maureen, You Know United Being an Effective Educator Is Just as Important as Being a Good Farmer Maureen Torrey Marshall, 2006 United Fresh co-chairwoman and Torrey Farms co-owner, believes the main challenge facing the produce industry is educating policymakers who shape agricultural policies and regulations. "We need to educate the people making these decisions," said Maureen. "They don't realize the impact their decisions have on agricultural producers."  She explains that it takes personal interaction with lawmakers and telling them our story. Maureen has used a number of strategies to connect with her elected officials, including fly-in visits with Washington legislators and meetings with members of urban Chambers of Commerce to discuss how having an unstable agricultural workforce affects their districts.
