SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE

For over 30 years, we have had a dedicated team servicing our Food Service QSR partners. Our sales team isn’t doing double duty to manage retail accounts alongside food service ones; they are dedicated solely to restaurant sales accounts only. This organizational strategy means that our team is well-versed in the particular nuances of the restaurant industry: special specs, delivery needs, food safety concerns, and more.

CONSISTENT QUALITY PRODUCT

Our customers continue to partner with us because we can supply their stores with quality product at the right spec and price, year-round. We pride ourselves on sourcing the freshest quality produce with great shelf life for your stores. We believe in supply redundancy as well, so that you never have to question whether a certain commodity will be available or not. We are regularly checking our products and working with our growers to make sure what we supply is only the best for our restaurant partners.

Veg-Fresh Farms and our regional partners repack and color sort every tomato case to your specifications, providing stores with consistent color and sizing. Long term relationships with regional partners allows us to ship product out of produce facilities that are closer to the end user for a fresher product and on-time delivery.

VERTICALLY INTEGRATED PARTNERSHIPS

We have vertically aligned partnerships with our growers, and we source in the US and Mexico, allowing us to offer consistent year-round supply when crops are short or gapping – this benefit allows us to standout from the competition. Over the past 30 years, Veg-Fresh Farms has invested in numerous growing partnerships with many growers in the California and Mexico regions to expand our portfolio of commodities. This includes our melon program out of Firebaugh, CA, onions out of Lancaster, CA, strawberries out of Santa Maria, CA, citrus out of Redlands, CA, peppers out of Sinaloa, and of course, a robust tomato, pepper program out of Ensenada, Culiacan, and Sayula, MX. These partnerships allow us to offer consistent year-round supply on an incredible amount of items.

SUPPLY CHAIN TRANSPARENCY

We believe in an honest, transparent contract with our Food Service partners.  We write flexible contracts that support both our customer and our grower. We honor transparency with our pricing – no hidden costs, no rebates with grower shippers. We work closely with our customers to establish costs at the shipping point when possible. Additionally, we provide customized, analytic reports that are specific to your business so you can see your Veg-Fresh order frequencies, volumes, prices and more over time.

CUSTOMIZABLE & ADAPTABLE

We are willing and able to create programs that fit your needs. Our commitment to our partners is best in class; we will do whatever it takes to get produce to our customers, even in an emergency. If issues arise with quality, spec, or pricing concerns, we work directly with the customer to find the right solution for their business model.

FOOD SAFETY

The number one concern for our food service partners is Food Safety. We have created a first-class Food Safety program that mitigates potential risks and prepares us for any issues that may arise. Our supply chain has on-the-ground inspections, in-process testing, unique lot designations and other processes to prevent cross contamination and loss. These systems ensure traceability on all shipped goods, and in the event of a recall, we are prepared to react quickly and efficiently. Our food safety team and scientist oversees the program to ensure it is in compliance with FDA and FSMA requirements.
