ARIZONA DISTRIBUTION

Wholesale Watermelon Distributor in Arizona

Family-owned farming since the 1960s, rotational growing across five regions, and refrigerated full-truckload freight for Arizona retail and foodservice partners.

Arizona Market

Southwest Supply Backed by a 52-Week Calendar

Arizona demand does not shut off when the domestic season ends, and neither does our supply. We grow across Southern Mexico, South Texas, West Texas, Florida, and Georgia, which lets us ship into Arizona for all 52 weeks of the year. Loads leave our packing house in Edinburg, Texas as full-truckload refrigerated freight, handled by the same family that grew and harvested them. Micro-drip irrigation at the root and field-binning at harvest are how we protect quality before the truck is ever loaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you hold Arizona supply through the winter?

How quickly can you trace or recall a load?
Every load is traceable from the field to the dock. Our traceability program supports a two-hour recall, and our records tie each pallet back to the field it was harvested from.

Yes. We pack to your program in custom retail packaging or wholesale bulk. Tell us the format your Arizona stores need and we will quote against it.
