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.

Contact your sales consultant today about our Created Fresh! line of grab and go offerings now available in our East Coast companies. *Not all items are available in MAP packaging. #peoplepassionproduce #‎ourfirstnameisfresh

FreshPoint Charlotte has had an ongoing monthly donation of employee hours and food for the Roof Above Men’s Shelter. Over the past year or so, they have had an average of 3 to 5 colleagues who volunteer to meet and serve lunch on the 3rd Thursday of each month for about an hour.

For this event pictured here, they donated around 30.5 hours and 65lbs of food.

It is a heartfelt experience they are happy to be a part of.

Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, we are able to support our Purpose of Connecting the World to Share Food and Care For One Another by strengthening and serving your community.

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.
