Testimonials

“I’ve been using Produce Express for over a decade, and they are consistently able to fill the gap when local produce isn’t available.

My rep, Scott, is great and keeps me updated with product timelines, quality, and anything fun that’s coming down the line. Easily the best produce supplier in the CA central valley.”

“I've been working with Produce Express for over 15 years. The reason I choose them over the competitors, is their passion for their products. From the people who answer the phones, to the reps who solve problems and on down the line to the drivers, all of which I know on a first name basis. They don't just take and deliver orders; they have a personal touch with what they do. Between Bryan, Josh, Alvaro and Luis. They all know what I order and ensure I'm getting the best product delivered to my doorstep.

The drivers take such care and ambition that if they see a problem, they go and FIX it- They aren't just drivers, they all have my personal cell and call or text when they see an oddity to my order. They are like having a best friend that has your back, every morning. Talk about extreme ownership! Last week Josh delivered my order, ‘Hey Chef Dean, you guys normally get the Arcadia blend, but somehow the packing slip was frisee- I brought both, just in case.’ You can't teach that type of critical thinking to other companies that just take orders. Produce Express is more than that- They are a full service, best friend-type company, and have earned my loyalty above all else.”

“The Produce Express Team has always been fundamental in connecting our institutional food program to our community. 

We appreciate being able to support our local farmers through this local, family-owned entity!”

“I started using Produce Express over 35 years ago when I was working with Chef Teresa Urkofsky at Pava's on K Street.  Back then more often than not Jim "AKA Pops" would deliver in his truck and no matter how busy either of us were would always take the time to tell a good joke or story from back in the day.  I continued to use them exclusively in my 12 year stint at David Berkley's (1990 to 2002), then 10 Years (2002 to 2012) at my wife Yvette and my first restaurant The Supper Club.  2009 till present at Matteo's.  2012 to 2020 at The Crocker Art Museum Cafe.  2017 to 2020 at our downtown cafe Backbone.

Produce Express led the Farm to Fork Movement before there was even a phrase for it. … Many companies have approached me to make a change, but never considered it.  From top to bottom, owner Jim, all the key staff, office staff, delivery drivers and warehouse workers are great to work with. Jim is always generous when we approach him for help with big fundraisers and big caterings.   We are looking forward to many more years of partnership.”

“I've been using Produce Express for over 30 years and see no reason to change.

Great service, reliable and takes care of the customer and their staff. I've taken them to every kitchen I've run.”

“Their homespun approach to customer service defies the scale and efficiency of Produce Express.

Jim Boyce’s folksy, humble demeanor permeates throughout the company from the warehouse, to the delivery drivers, and everything in between.”

“Throughout my career in the hospitality industry, Produce Express has been a constant source of help, guidance, and support. I started my company as a pop-up/catering service, and it has since evolved into a brick-and-mortar establishment.

Whether it’s hiring us to feed their team for Friday lunch or sending out a second truck to ensure we have everything we need, the Produce Express team has always been there for us. They embody true hospitality while delivering a superior product.”

“We at Mario’s Early Toast have been customers of Produce Express for over a decade. They provide us the freshest ingredients for the daily preparation of so many items on our menu.

Between the daily deliveries and the exceptional customer service we receive from them, we wouldn’t use any other produce provider.

It has been an absolute pleasure watching their business grow alongside ours!”
