We started as a tomato house, but over the past 30 years, Veg-Fresh Farms has invested in numerous growing partnerships with many growers in the California and Mexico regions to expand our portfolio of commodities. This includes our melon program out of Firebaugh, CA, onions out of Lancaster, CA, strawberries out of Santa Maria, CA, citrus out of Redlands, CA, peppers out of Sinaloa, and of course, a robust tomato, pepper program out of Ensenada, Culiacan, and Sayula, MX. These partnerships allow us to offer consistent year-round supply on an incredible amount of items. Before we started this business in 1989, our family worked in the produce industry in Southern California for decades alongside our fathers, uncles, and mentors (who became family to us). It’s with them that we learned this industry from the ground up, and it’s those learning lessons that we impart on future generations that have joined the business.
