John Battle, Director of Fresh Sales

After being in the produce industry for over 25 years, John joined the team at Great Lakes to start our FRESH produce branch. John was the first to travel to South America to plant their first sweet onions and this is where his specialty remains. No matter what the time of year, John will procure the finest sweet onions the world has to offer. Well-known throughout the industry, he is well liked and well-respected. John attended Michigan State University and earned a degree in Business. When he is not selling onions, John is busy chasing around his five children. Great Lakes is excited to have a new addition to our team!
