Greener Fields Together
Safe, sustainable produce. That’s what Greener Fields Together was created to deliver. Why? Because a seed-to-fork approach that educates and engages partners at every link in the fresh produce supply chain is the right thing to do. Greener Fields Together quantifies sustainability efforts with every partner, facilitates continuous improvement at every link and, ultimately, creates a future for conscious production and consumption.
Participating in Greener Fields Together allows General Produce to strengthen the food supply chain by bringing fresh, nutritious, and safe food to our region. We distribute local, regional, and national products to satisfy the discerning tastes of our customers. Our goal is to support local agriculture and economies, while making every effort to limit our environmental impact. We promote the fair and equitable treatment of our employees and expect the same from the companies with whom we do business.
We believe in local farming and we believe that supporting growers in our communities is the best way to ensure a future for food.
