Middle Tennessee Distribution

Direct Cold-Chain Delivery to Middle Tennessee

Nashville has become a distribution market as much as a consumption one. Three interstates meet here, and the warehouse belt running through La Vergne and Smyrna serves receivers well past Tennessee. That puts pressure on inbound consistency, because one weak load travels. We grow, harvest, field-bin and pack under one company out of the Rio Grande Valley, rotate the calendar through West Texas and Southern Mexico so nothing goes dark seasonally, and move refrigerated full truckloads into the Middle Tennessee corridor with the harvest lot documented on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for Nashville delivery?
One full truckload. We move refrigerated FTL freight only, which is what keeps the cold chain intact from our dock to yours. Send us your volume and pack requirement and we will confirm current availability.
How is traceability handled on each load?
Every load carries a record from the field through field-binning, packing and dispatch, in line with FSMA Rule 204 traceability requirements. Our recall program is built to respond in under two hours if a lot needs to be identified and isolated.
Where does the fruit come from?
We grow in Southern Mexico, South Texas in the Rio Grande Valley, West Texas around Quemado and Seminole, Florida and Georgia. All five regions are farmed, harvested and packed by our own operation, and they rotate through the year.
