With years of experience, comes the direct knowledge of knowing the best brands and seasons for top quality produce. As another quality control measure, we inspect all of our produce before it leaves our climate-controlled warehouse in our refrigerated trucks. We are very selective about our choice of growers and suppliers where quality is concerned and in turn, is expected from our customers.
"I believe that our success is due to the fact that we strive to give our customers quality produce with efficient service and competitive prices and forming a partnership in business with all of our customers."
