Ford's Produce Supply Update

August 2, 2010 Week

Last week’s high heat, followed by this week’s rains, have caused a short term gap on many local products.

Cantaloupes, watermelons and honeydews are all at peak season, both locally and nationally.

Great supplies from Salinas and Santa Maria are keeping strawberry markets low.

Eastern Peach growers are having one of the strongest harvests on record.

Onion farmers have been plagued by poor weather and too much rain all season long.

Ordering & Delivery - Phone 919-833-7559

Ford's Produce makes placing your orders as convenient as possible. Orders may be placed in person, by telephone (919-833-7559), by fax (919-839-8121), or left on our voice mail system (1-800-821-3673). It helps to avoid confusion if you are specific when naming your company and what you are ordering. Please first give the name and address of the business for which you are ordering. Next, please be specific as to the items you need. Because we stock many varieties for you a box of tomatoes could be many different varieties or container sizes.

We deliver Monday thru Saturday, with our first trucks leaving at 6:00 a.m. These trucks carry orders placed the day before or left on our answering machines. The second round of local delivery trucks usually leave around 10:00 a.m. If you need your order early in the morning, or you are outside of the Triangle area, we suggest you get your order on the first truck of the day.

When shipping, we try to be as accurate as possible. We have an exceptionally low number of mis-shipments and mark outs (less than one percent of all packages), but sometimes mistakes are made. If your order is not what you expected or the delivery does not come at its usual time, please let us know. We will do our absolute best to any problem and get your order to you immediately.

Please fill out both of these forms, sign them and fax them to us at 919-839-8121. Please call us with any questions at 919-833-7559.
