From the Field to the Freezer
Our seed program for tomatoes and peppers processes over 20 million pounds of raw produce annually in California. This proximity helps to reduce our carbon footprint and ensures the freshness of the produce.
Starts with Planning
We collaborate with our partners to proactively prevent disruptions that could impact your operations. This crucial stage involves open discussions on volume, timing, and quality certifications, ensuring the stability of your supplies.
In the Fields
Our dedicated growers select the seeds that will be used to grow your vegetable ingredients. These selected seeds are then planted in fields, which are carefully managed by our dedicated growers and agricultural team.
RTE Technology
At their peak, vegetables are harvested from the fields and transported to our facility, where they are frozen within hours. Our validated Ready-to-Eat thermal processing step is managed as a preventative control for food safety. This process helps maintain the highest quality in color, texture, and nutrients compared to fresh vegetables, which can lose quality during transport and storage.
Consistent Supply & Reliability
Planning advantages ensure a continuous and reliable supply for maintaining production schedules and meeting customer demands without interruptions. Frozen vegetables are available throughout the year, unlike fresh vegetables, which are subject to seasonal availability.
