Nature Fresh Farms Increases Distribution in Southern U.S.
December 2, 2020 
Greenhouse vegetable producer Nature Fresh Farms has expanded operations with a new distribution center in Laredo, TX, and future developments planned for next year.
The new 61,000 square-foot facility provides a major hub of fresh produce. Since the opening of the facility, Nature Fresh has employed more than 30 team members, with more positions available for hire. The center will help service Nature Fresh Farms’ Mexican winter program and allow for direct shipping of product, shortening the supply chain. With this fully operational facility, the company will be able to bring fresher produce to customers located in the Southern U.S.
Laredo Division Manager Sergio Restrepo says the new distribution center is in response to the company’s continuous growth.
“The acquirement of our new center is part of our plans to optimize our distribution network,” Restrepo says. “With this, we are able to further strengthen our logistics and operations, ensuring that we can better meet the needs and expectations of our consumers and customers.”
Nature Fresh Farms has had a streak of sustained operational growth with its newly completed Phase 7 and 8 greenhouses, and a large expansion planned for its Leamington, Ontario, location. The company also has future plans for expansion in Ohio with an extension of acreage, in addition to its current 45 acres of greenhouse, and the construction of a new distribution center.
“We are looking forward to further developing our Ohio location with many new initiatives planned,” says John Ketler, Vice President of Nature Fresh Farms. “We see significant opportunities in the continued construction with these new facilities needed to support our growth.”
