COLORADO DISTRIBUTION

Wholesale Watermelon Distributor in Colorado

Family-owned since the 1960s, growing across five regions, and shipping refrigerated full-truckload freight to Colorado retail, wholesale, and foodservice partners.

Front Range Supply Across Every Season

Colorado’s short growing season makes an out-of-state supplier a year-round necessity, not a seasonal backup. We grow across Southern Mexico, South Texas, West Texas, Florida, and Georgia, and ship refrigerated full-truckload freight from our packing house in Edinburg, Texas. That rotation covers all 52 weeks, so Front Range distribution centers and mountain foodservice accounts can plan a program instead of scrambling in the off months. Every load carries traceability documented from the field to your dock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer custom retail packaging for Colorado programs?
Yes. We pack to your program in custom retail packaging or wholesale bulk. Tell us the format your stores or foodservice accounts need and we will quote against it.
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.
Can you supply Colorado through the winter?
Yes. From September through March our supply comes from Southern Mexico and moves through our Texas border facilities. Our Texas fields cover April through August. Together that is 52 weeks of continuous supply.
