Marketing - Botany
German term or phrase: gut gewachsen
This the title of an image film for a cooperative in the business of selling products which are grown, i.e. vegetables, fruit, plants etc. to the trade...I would also like to get the ideas of the business growth incorporated in the short, snappy title.

"Healthy growth" occurred to me but I am not in a cretive state of mind today as on a tough technical text.

TIA for any suggestions

well grown
Explanation:
although ' healthy growth' seems OK too if the main message is company/business growth

'bearing fruit' might fit if the main message is that the coop's efforts are yielding results, but to me it has a slight connotation that the business is now profitable for the first time (not essentially, but it leans in that direction), and it has a certain association in this context with 'and about to go dormant/die' (as with seasonal crops and annuals).

Zuerst dachte ich an "Fruit of the Boom", aber das gibt es laut Google schon und ist möglicherweise urheberrechtlich geschützt.

Asker: nice idea, unsure whether it works for their other products, but maybe that's not important
