“Verde Farms is experiencing impressive growth in sales and staff,” said Morgan Blum, the Cummings Properties account manager who worked with Verde’s COO/CFO Paul Boulanger and Todd Faber of The Faber Group on the expansion. “We are so pleased that Verde chooses time and again to stay and grow its business with Cumming Properties.”
