Southern California Distribution

Direct Cold-Chain Freight to the Los Angeles Basin

Los Angeles anchors West Coast produce distribution, and its receivers work at a scale that punishes an unreliable supplier. Our answer is control of the chain rather than a longer list of growers. We grow, harvest, field-bin, pack and dispatch under one company out of our own operation in Edinburg, Texas, with West Texas and Southern Mexico regions rotating in behind it. Loads reach the basin as refrigerated full truckloads running the I-10 corridor into Vernon, Commerce and the Inland Empire, with the harvest lot documented from the field forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for Los Angeles delivery?
One full truckload. We move refrigerated FTL freight only, which is what keeps a long lane temperature-controlled end to end. Send us your volume and pack requirement and we will confirm current availability.
Can you supply Los Angeles year-round?
Yes. Our growing regions rotate across South Texas, West Texas, Southern Mexico, Florida and Georgia, which gives us 52 weeks of continuous supply. The origin changes through the year; the program does not stop.
What traceability do you provide 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 ever needs to be isolated.
