Greener Fields Together

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.
