ORLANDO, FL – In an industry as dynamic and fast-moving as fresh produce, relationships are key, and finding felicitous partnerships is key to success.

With offices in Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, and now California, where Progressive Produce is headquartered, Keystone’s national scope and wide assortment of offerings make them an attractive option for buy-siders looking for fresh produce.
“We’ve got commodities to offer, including sweet onions, potatoes, asparagus, peaches, apples—whatever the consumer needs,” Michael tells me, encouraging customers in retail, wholesale, and foodservice to call for their needs however diverse.
