Over the last few decades, we have seen revolutionary changes in the produce industry—from refrigerated trucks and fresh-cut produce to submitting and processing orders online. With these innovations, our passion for produce and commitment to helping our customers succeed remains unchanged.
Why is this time of year so important to our industry?
During the annual field transition, fall weather can be erratic as warm and cool temps alternate while the season changes...and this will have an effect on produce in the field.
Our QA team is in the field inspecting what makes the cut and keeping us all in the loop via the FreshPress.

"My father and my grandfather have worked with FreshPoint for at least 40 years now. FreshPoint just knows where to put the product―they want quality, and we do our best to give it to them. It works out really well." – Eric Henry.
Eric’s great-grandfather started Blue Hills Orchard with peaches in 1904, and now they have over 300 gorgeous acres of peaches, plums, and nectarines in the summer, and apples and pears in the fall.

We are right in the midst of the annual field transition. While it is a critical time, our growers have this carefully orchestrated event down to a science.
This time of the year the major growing areas in Yuma and Salinas alternate, and this can affect several produce commodities, such as lettuces, strawberries, broccoli, cauliflower, and others. It's a monumental operation and logistical feat.
We work closely with our growers, and our team is in the fields helping us understand how these markets are doing. Interested to see how it works? Watch our quick video on exactly what this important event is. And bookmark this link below to check out our weekly produce market report that is also posted here every Friday.

Carrots, onions, and celery are getting ready for their annual culinary moment. Called aromatics for a good reason, they comprise the classic mix of French mirepoix and are the unsung heroes of soups, stocks, gravies, and sauces.
Here are a few tips on keeping them in tip top shape and ready to use:
🥕 Carrots: Keep your carrots in a humid part of your cooler and as cold as possible. If they don’t have that humidity they are going to dry out and get limp and rubbery. Keep the container closed and airtight. Exposure to the cooler blower will dry them out.
🧅 Onions: Onions like to be stored dry, cool, and dark. They don’t like the moisture, in fact when onions are harvested, the skin is really moist. The farmer will turn up the rows and leave the onions outside for a few days so the skin will dry out and make it to market.
🥬 Celery: Celery likes it really cold and really humid. It tends to dry out and get limp even faster than a carrot will. Exposure to the cooler blower will dry them out, they will become dehydrated and limp—and it happens quick. Forgetting to keep them airtight just overnight could result in dehydrated celery.
So, there you have it! Keep these tips for success in mind when storing your carrots, onions, and celery.
