About Us – Foodservice Distributor
History
Founded in 1982, Get Fresh Produce is a foodservice distributor providing customers with the finest quality produce, dairy, protein, and related foodservice commodities.
We service a diversified mix of national, independent, institutional, and retail businesses. From our headquarters in Bartlett, IL we deliver to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Lastly, we compete on the basis of service, safety and availability of the freshest foods. Contact us for more information.
State of the Art Facility
Get Fresh Produce operates from our fully secured, 86,000 square foot, LEED certified distribution center. Our cold chain management system also contains 28 docks, 7 coolers, freezers, ripening rooms, repack areas, and an in-house safety and quality assurance team.
The produce distribution includes Garden Cut, a custom produce processing facility. In March 2024, Garden Cut and Gro Fresh moved to our new facility at 1397 Schiferl Road, Bartlett across from our food service facility.
Fleet
We operate a fleet of fully refrigerated trucks for produce distribution, all maintained and fueled on-site. Each truck is equipped with advanced tracking and dispatch software. Our real-time logistics system enables our team to respond quickly to any deviations, ensuring that customer deliveries are managed efficiently and with care.
Technology
Our Warehouse Management System technology accurately tracks deliveries, freshness, and food safety. We monitor all packages throughout the customer delivery process, while ensuring compliance with the Produce Traceability Initiative. Presently, Get Fresh Produce uses paperless invoicing. Our delivery drivers manage their entire day—including routing, GPS navigation, invoicing, and returns—using a single tablet device.
Our internal campaign, “We Feed People,” emphasizes the impact we have on the lives of individuals in our foodservice distribution area. This message is especially significant for our school and healthcare customers, as the food we deliver will be served to children and families.
Above all, “We Feed People” embodies one of our core values, reflecting our commitment to excellence in the foodservice industry. Contact us to learn more about our diverse range of foodservice offerings.
