Local Produce
From the Farm to Your Plate
For FreshPoint, local means produce harvested within 250 miles of our warehouse.
Over the last several years we have made significant strides with innovative technology throughout our FreshPoint operating companies. We have reporting capabilities that trace the purchase from the local farm to the customer sale. Nationally, we are first on the scene with this technology in this industry. Our customers are looking for more information on their fresh produce and we are able to supply that through our technology for local, regional and national customers.
Leading the industry with our local produce traceability and reporting capabilities!

Our customers are caring more and more about where their food is coming from and who is producing it. FreshPoint is an advocate sponsor of our local communities and farms. We understand that buying local produce strengthens our regional economies, helps support family farms, and provides delicious fresh from the field foods to our customers.
FreshPoint’s vision and integrity have helped shape and preserve the local landscape. We are committed to supporting local produce delivery.
