Where does our food come from?

We take for granted that many grocery stores have dozens of fresh produce options available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. But how is it produced?

The Farmer

Much of the fruits and veggies we eat are grown by family-run operations in the US. Farmers do an incredible job maximizing the use of their natural resources to ensure the land can continue to provide 50-100 years down the road.

The Distributor

Once produce has been grown, it must be sent all across the world before it goes bad. Distributors are experts in moving produce, from importing fruits on containers to hauling it cross-country on trucks.

The Retailer

Retailers find themselves at the culmination of the intricate game of hot potato played with produce, bearing the responsibility of ensuring customers enjoy the freshest possible experience. They manage the movement of hundreds, or even thousands, of various produce types through their warehouses each day, ultimately bringing food to our tables.

Why is there so much waste?

Every individual in the food supply chain does their best to reduce waste. However, there is currently no guardian angel watching over fruits and veggies as they pass from hand to hand. There is also very little information on quality.

That’s where we come in

We listen to fruits and veggies as they ripen to help everyone in the journey make the best decision for produce.

Whether it’s helping a supplier store their apples, an exporter ship and slot kiwis, or a retailer bring the freshest and perfectly ripe bananas, we are there every step of the way.
