Since our buyers purchase products from around the world everyday, depending upon the growing season of any particular item, we are able to assure our customers availability, freshness and increased savings.

The experience and contacts that our buyers have developed over many years of purchasing insure that we normally get products even when everyone else is out of stock. With this strong buying power, our customers have fewer shortages on their deliveries, making it easier for them to keep their customers happy!

Over the years, we have improved many of our efforts to provide better products as we move into the future. Forced air banana ripening rooms eliminate uneven ripening within the same box. We use our modern fleet of refrigerated trucks to ensure our produce stays as fresh as possible while being delivered. With weekly newsletters and an availability list, we strive to keep our customers informed as to the availability of seasonal items. Our outside sales staff will visit regularly to make sure we take care of your needs.

All of our buyers are, first and foremost, quality oriented. Our purchase orders specify only the highest quality produce available. Our team of receivers immediately and thoroughly inspects every shipment that comes to our warehouse. If there is any question about the quality of anything that comes to our door, a USDA federal inspector is called to give the final analysis. Rest assured that our intent is that only the finest produce will be shipped to our customers.
