HAMMONTON, NJ - Like many other great American stories from history, Frank Donio, Inc. originated from humble beginnings. At the rise of the 20th century our founder, Frank Donio, a first generation Italian immigrant, saw an opportunity for success by supplying fresh, locally grown produce to the rising populations of New York City, Northern New Jersey and Philadelphia. Frank began with one unrefrigerated truck, over eighty-five years ago, unknowingly laying the foundations of a family tradition that would continue for generations.
Today, the size and scope of that same company has expanded; growing, sourcing and marketing fruits and vegetables, with offices and relationships throughout all of North and South America, all while maintaining Frank’s original vision to supply communities with quality fresh produce.
Donio’s was built on a reputation of trust and we back our business with our family name. 80 plus years of experience in the production process sets Donio’s apart from the rest. From seed to shelf we cultivate over one thousand acres of Jersey Fresh Blueberries and vegetables. Combining expert market forecasting and longstanding grower relationships ensure a ready supply of product to customers.
Donio’s demands the latest technical and marketing innovations and the highest premium supply of fruits and vegetables, receiving fresh product daily into a climate controlled facility of over 175,000 square feet. Removing field heat on site, through vacuum, forced air and hydrocooling, ensures a longer shelf life and more satisfied customers.
Since Frank’s single truck, Frank Donio, Inc. now runs our own fleet of refrigerated trucks and trailers to ensure freshness during transit. Custom packing orders with ice, so products are delivered safely and on time. Donio’s is there to meet the unique needs of the produce marketplace 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Fresh and on time, from coast to coast.
Years of experience, a strong network of growers, and a vertically integrated business model, guarantee year-round access to a complete line of products. Full line, full time, with quality as our family tradition. At Donio’s, it’s not good enough for your family, unless it’s good enough for ours.
