NORTH CAROLINA DISTRIBUTION

Wholesale Watermelon Distributor in North Carolina

A family-owned grower-shipper with five growing regions, year-round availability, and documented traceability for North Carolina retail and foodservice partners.

North Carolina Market

Carolina Retail Supply, Traced from Field to Dock

North Carolina’s grocery base has grown quickly, and the buyers running it need supply that does not disappear between seasons. We grow across Southern Mexico, South Texas, West Texas, Florida, and Georgia, and ship refrigerated full-truckload freight out of our packing house in Edinburg, Texas. Because we grow, harvest, field-bin, pack, and ship our own fruit, the answer to a traceability question comes from inside our operation rather than from a broker three steps up the chain.
