The three things
we don't compromise on.
Three values guide every decision we make. They've been here since the start — and they haven't changed because they haven't needed to.
Quality, always.
We provide the best quality and service at the best value — with integrity and accountability in every dealing. If it isn't good enough, it doesn't leave the dock.
Every employee.
We actively involve every one of our 250 employees in improving the quality of product and service we provide. If it's our name on the truck, they own it too.
Partnership, real.
Profitable business for us, our vendors, and our customers — we win together, or not at all. That's how it's worked for 80 years, and it's working fine.
The people
who pick up.
Three teams that make every order happen. Chances are, one of them is your rep.
Our buying team talks daily with growers, shippers, and suppliers — watching markets for shifts in quantity, quality, price, and emerging trends.
Many started their career running produce departments. Their retail experience is a real asset — shared over the phone or in-store.
A reliable partner for college campuses, schools, healthcare, and other large-volume operations — consistent supply, predictable delivery, and a rep who picks up the phone.
Come work with us.
We mean that two ways: we're always hiring, and we always want new customers. Pick whichever fits.
