Hearty Fresh Inc

Description

Hearty Fresh Inc is a customer-focused produce company located in the rural community of Byron Center, Michigan. We are situated within an agricultural area of Michigan that grows onions, celery, sweet corn, cabbage, summer and winter squash, cucumbers, asparagas, apples, peaches, and blueberries. Our operation began in 1993 when Mr. Randall Huizinga began packing onions and celery marketed under the Hearty Fresh brand. In 1995, we expanded our operation to include a trucking company, giving our customers reliable, on-time delivery 7 days a week. In 2003, we built a 50,000 square foot facility.

Destin Tranportation was started in 1995 as a fast, reliable way to deliver fresh produce right to our customers' doors. While our primary business remains growing and packing the freshest quality produce, we started Destin to meet our customers' needs for a transportation company committed to maintaining the cold-chain. Our fleet includes 10 over-the-road Semi-tractors and 12 refridgerated 53' insulated trailers. We reach customers in five states within the Midwest with deliveries 7 days-a-week.

Hearty Fresh is one of the midwest's largest onion grower, packer, and shipper operations. We grow, store and pack onions in Michigan and import onions from all growing regions in order to be a year-round source of quality onions for our customers. Our modern facility contains multiple drying and storage rooms with in-floor air flow capable of handling bulk, crib, and palletized onions. We have onion grading lines that clean, size, and pack onions to our customers' exact specifications. We offer several private labels or our team can work with you to develop a label that meets your request.

Hearty Fresh Inc is centrally located to Michigan's apple country. 'The Ridge', as its known, is an amazing landscape of rolling orchards and family owned apple farms and packing sheds. Hearty Fresh is proud to be partnered with the best of the best when it comes to growers, packers, and shippers of quality Michigan apples. We work with our partners to offer over twenty varieties of Michigan apples from September through June. During the offseason, we supply Washington apples and import select varieties from Chile and New Zeeland.

Did you know that the celery industry started right here in West Michigan? In the mid-1800's, area settlers found that celery grew well in the low-lying, mineral rich lands that surround Hearty Fresh for over 50 miles. Michigan celery is harvested and delivered to Hearty Fresh were it is cooled, processed, packaged and shipped to our customers and on their shelves only 24 hours after it was in the field. Our celery season begins in early July and extends until the first hard frost in the fall.
