🥬 Farm to Fork: It Takes a Team

When fresh produce arrives at your local grocery store, most people see the finished product. What they do not see is the network of people working behind the scenes to make it happen.

Growers, harvest crews, packing facilities, warehouses, transportation providers, distribution centers, and retailers all play a role in moving fresh produce from the field to consumers. Every handoff must happen at the right time to help protect freshness and quality.

During peak produce season, coordination is just as important as transportation. A well-managed supply chain helps ensure products arrive fresh, safe, and ready for the shelf.

At Fairchild Freight, we are proud to be part of that journey, helping connect farms, food suppliers, and retailers through reliable temperature-controlled transportation.

🫐 Produce Spotlight: Berry Season 🍓

Berries may be small, but they are one of the most delicate commodities moving through the fresh food supply chain.

Unlike many other produce items, berries have a very short shelf life and are highly sensitive to temperature changes during transportation. Even minor fluctuations can accelerate ripening, reduce freshness, and impact overall quality before the product reaches consumers.

That is why maintaining a consistent cold chain is critical. From harvest to delivery, proper temperature management, efficient transit times, and careful handling all help protect the freshness and shelf life of berries.

At Fairchild Freight, moving temperature-sensitive produce is what we do best. Our experience in fresh food transportation helps ensure delicate commodities like berries arrive safely and ready for the shelf.
