Introducing Created Fresh! our line of ready-to-eat prepackaged fresh foods for your on-the-go customer!
Available in two packaging formats, both with quality tamper evident packaging for safety:
🥗 Standard packaging with a 7-day shelf life, and
🥗 MAP* (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) with a 14-day shelf life
What’s the difference?
Our standard products are packaged in high quality clamshells and bags that keep the products safe and fresh and have a 7-day shelf life.
But for operations that need more shelf life, we also carry a MAP packaging line. MAP products are packaged in sealed trays where the oxygen is replaced with other gasses to give it a 14-day shelf life. Not only do they look great on your shelf, but they may also help to reduce waste by giving you a longer shelf life.
No matter which packaging you choose, both are created fresh for your customers.

It's Wallpaper Wednesday...Did you know? We work with over 60 regional farmers and artisans in our Connecticut area.
Near the end of August, growers start harvesting hard winter squash, ornamentals, and early apples. By mid-October is when the frost hits, but some growers will keep on going with storage apples, peeled butternut, cheese, syrup, honey, and year-round hydro Boston lettuce, baby lettuces, and microgreens.
