IMMOKALEE, FL - Lipman Family Farms, one of North America’s leading fresh produce suppliers, has acquired Farm Fresh, a fresh-cut fruit and vegetable operation in Phoenix, Arizona.
Farm Fresh, a leading fresh-cut player in Phoenix, is located a few miles down the road from Lipman’s repack operation in Glendale. The two facilities will complement Lipman’s service in a market where coverage and capabilities are growing.
This is the second western Lipman acquisition in recent months, after Inland Premium Packers in Riverside, California. Lipman’s footprint continues to grow nationally, with a focus on surety of supply and solutions to their partners.
The Farm Fresh facility prepares a variety of ready-to-eat produce, providing customized solutions for customers looking for a lineup of convenient, food-safe, and freshly cut produce.
As Lipman expands its footprint in the fresh-cut category, it also expands its team’s expertise as fresh produce continues to evolve.
“Investing in fresh-cuts in the Arizona region emphasizes our goal of supplying fresh produce solutions that are accessible to all,” said Elyse Lipman, CEO of Lipman Family Farms, in the recent release. “As we expand, this also means ensuring we have the right people in the right places that we can count on. Through Farm Fresh, we acquired experienced professionals who know fresh-cut and produce distribution. They bring a level of knowledge and customer service that we are thrilled to join forces with.”
In recent years, the company has made several investments to meet the growing demand for convenient, ready-to-use fruits and vegetables. Lipman is dedicated to national distribution in their fresh vegetable category, now with fresh-cut operations spanning from Mexico to Phoenix, Northern California, Colorado, Portland, and Texas, as well as Florida, North Carolina, and New Jersey. As Lipman builds on its vertically integrated model out west, its new Phoenix location makes the company an even more consistent, reliable and strategic supplier for its retail and foodservice customers.
