Willcox-based EuroFresh Farms filed for bankruptcy Monday in Tucson.
San Antonio, Texas-based NatureSweet Limited has announced that it plans to purchase substantially all of the assets of EuroFresh.
NatureSweet and EuroFresh Farms are 2 of the leading producers of fresh tomatoes in North America.
EuroFresh has more than 300 acres of greenhouses in Willcox and Snowflake.
