about us
Who we Are
At Vertical Foods, we are driven by a passion for specialty fruits and citrus grown in California’s Central Valley and beyond. Our expertise in growing and packing these seasonal fruits has evolved alongside the increasing demand for high-quality specialty offerings.
As a vertically integrated operation, we manage the entire process from harvest, packing, and shipping allowing us to maintain quality at every stage of the supply chain.
We are active growers and closely collaborating with a select group of independent farmers to ensure that quality remains a top priority. Our dedicated team is committed to packing each box with care, ensuring that it meets our standards of quality and that we can be proud of the products we ship.
Accountability
Our food safety program and experience with specialty fruits and citrus help us deliver quality products. We recognize that we wouldn’t be where we are today without our community of growers, partners, and customers.
Being vertically integrated allows us to select and work closely with the growers who provide our products. We know the history of the land and what was done to produce and harvest each crop. This traceability is important to us and to the retailers and consumers who trust our products.
Good practices
Our growers work to produce safe products and minimize potential for contamination. At the beginning of each growing season, ranches and field locations are assessed to confirm they’re suitable for the products grown. These Good Agricultural Practices are verified by recognized third-party audits.
Third-Party Certified
The commodities we provide are packed in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices. Field audits are conducted for the commodities we produce and pack, recognized by third-party certifiers. This includes attention to proper handling, storage conditions, and sanitation protocols throughout the packing process
Growth for Everyone
We’re dedicated to empowering our team and partners, fostering a nurturing environment where everyone can thrive.
