Fresh Produce Solutions for Retail, Foodservices & Processing

Capital City Fruit Offers Produce Solutions to Help You Grow

Growth is easier when produce is consistent and dependable. We work with you to figure out what’s causing the shortages, delays, or quality issues, then build a plan that fits how you operate. With our farm network plus repacking and distribution expertise, we help you keep customers happy and keep growing.

Solving Supply Chain Issues Long-Term

Ever wonder why you are spending less and not making more on produce? Whether your issues lie deep within your business’s operation, or your supplier has let you down one too many times with late or incorrect shipments, your customers shouldn’t have to feel shorted.  As a spec-driven company, we deliver even the most difficult produce items at the size and stage you require. We’ve spent the last 75 years refining our role in the North American farm-to-fork supply chain process to ensure we can execute and consistently deliver to our customers’ specifications.

Who We Serve

Retailers

Retail is hard, and produce can make or break a week. We help you keep shelves full and quality consistent, so your ads don’t turn into missed sales. You get produce you can put your name on, plus packing, private label, warehousing, and on-time delivery that fits how your team works.

Food Service

We grow and source produce with trusted partners around the world, so you get quality that matches your specs. We keep things straightforward and transparent, and since we’re not last-mile, we’re not competing with you. Need something custom? We can do whole or fresh-cut, break cases/splits, and exclusive packaging. You’ll also have an account team to keep you updated, support training, show up at food shows, and help solve day-to-day issues.

Convenience Stores

Is fresh produce a part of your strategy? Many convenience stores realize the potential for fresh produce on their shelves. We understand the importance of maximum shelf life, right-sized custom packed items and delivery at the right stage and color. We work with you to customize a program that fits your market demographics.

Processors

Whether you sell to food service or retail customers, we understand there are specific requirements for the high-quality raw produce needed on the production line. We exceed your food safety and traceability expectations and conduct regular mock recalls to ensure our processes and procedures are working.  Our goal is to provide the right product to maximize yield, helping you maximize profits.
