Carolinas Distribution

Grower-Direct Freight to the Carolinas

Charlotte works as a Carolinas hub rather than a single-city market. Retail distribution centers here supply stores across both states, and foodservice houses run the same loads out toward Columbia, Greensboro and the coast. Steady weekly volume matters more than a large first order. We hold that steadiness by rotating harvest across our South Texas, West Texas and Southern Mexico growing regions, packing everything through our own operation, and shipping refrigerated full truckloads into the I-77 and I-85 crossroads. One grower, one packer, one traceability record on every load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for Charlotte delivery?
One full truckload. We move refrigerated FTL freight only, which keeps the cold chain unbroken across a long lane. Send us your weekly volume and pack requirement and we will confirm current availability.
Which certifications do you hold?
We operate under PrimusGFS, GAP and GMP, and we comply with FSMA Rule 204 traceability requirements. We also run our own annual certification process across the growing and packing operation.
Do you supply both wholesale bulk and retail packaging?
Yes. We supply wholesale bulk for repackers and foodservice, and retail packaging for grocery programs. Tell us how the load needs to arrive and we will build it that way rather than asking you to work around a fixed configuration.
