Our Philosophy

Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:20:26 -0500

Philosophy Statement:

From a small child I was introduced to the idea of tilling the land and planting the seed then nurturing and taking care of the plants until time for harvest. From that very humble beginning through growing crops commercially in Georgia and Florida and then to distributing fresh fruits and vegetables the passion remains the same. My desire is still to bring to you our customers the freshest produce either from around the corner or across the country. We do this through building strong alliances with our customers to ensure them of the best we can supply them with. We also try to maintain an open line of communication as means of knowing exactly what you our customers want and need. We do this through our partnerships with grower/shippers from all over and with the help of all our team members. We want to create loyalty of our customers by being the very best we can and also loyalty of our team members by recognizing that without them we could not do what we do. By continually learning and keeping up with the new trends of the produce business we try to increase the value we offer to you our customers. We will always remember what brought us here to where we are and will not forget to say thank you to our many valued customers and team members.

Sure, we’ve got many long-term relationships with our suppliers, but we don’t establish them with just any grower or shipper. Many of our supplier partners have taken several years to establish and make what we needed for our customers.

Our vendor certification process assures that all of our vendors have the same high standards for food safety and all the other processes and procedures that we strictly maintain.

Every year, we make sure that all of our vendors are maintaining those standards. We check to make sure that every product we get is absolutely, positively up to par for our customers.

Trust, reliability, and confidence in our vendors-it all adds up to exceeding your expectations.

In other words: we want you to be happy. Please contact our buying department if you are interested in becoming a supplier for our company.
