Three generations of knowledge and respect for the land.
Growers Express was founded in 1987 by eight produce growers who all believed in a few simple values: Producing our own premium quality products, consistent supply and superior service.
Our owners have taken three generations of knowledge and respect for the land and have developed it into one of the nation's largest suppliers of fresh vegetables.
Unlike many shippers who have grown in size but have actually reduced their own operations, the vast majority of our 15 million cartons of produce grown and shipped annually are still grown by our own owners. We still maintain the values on which our company is based.
Headquartered in Salinas Valley, our total year-round ground base exceeds 50,000 acres. To offer our 40-plus items on a year-round basis, we also grow in Arizona, Mexico, Oregon, and Ohio. Our largest volume items- iceberg lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, celery and leaf lettuces - are complimented with a full line of bunched items. We also offer several value-added packs to round out our line.
"Green Giant Fresh" chose Growers Express to exclusively license branded lettuces and mixed vegetables. Our vegetables stand up to the stringent quality guidelines for "Green Giant Fresh" trademark. In addition to our "Green Giant Fresh" brand we also offer our own premium brand
"Capurro Farms".
