Fresher is better.
Fresh produce, of course. But also fresh ideas. New ways of thinking about the age-old business of getting great-tasting sweet potatoes — and peppers and napa cabbage and more — from field to table. Not throwing out the past for the sake of shiny new objects, but taking a clear-eyed look at what works, what we can improve, and where there are opportunities for smart, strategic growth.
Sound good? Let’s talk about what we can deliver for you.
We speak your language: produce.
From sweet potatoes to bell pepper, butternut squash to blueberries, Farm Fresh Produce, Inc. grows and delivers quality around the world.
Even more important, we know what translates across borders — and what doesn’t.
On one side of the Atlantic, for instance, sweet potatoes are all about brown sugar, cinnamon and butter. On the other, you’d be eating them with sage or rosemary. If you don’t know the difference, you don’t know your customer.
That’s why we’ve combined our farming legacy with an unmatched background in international shipping — creating a vertically integrated operation that can provide a steady supply of the varieties our customers are looking for.

Custom Packaging, Your Way



We own and operate our own sweet potato farms, giving us full control from seed to shipment.
From water conservation to solar-powered facilities, we’re building a smarter, cleaner produce chain.
Your brand, your packaging. We create private-label shipments tailored to your exact specs.
As growers, packers, and distributors, we manage every step, so you always get reliable, on-time deliveries.


In 2010, we planted the seed of a new idea.
When Steven Ceccarelli started this company, his goal was to take a fresh approach to growing and packing produce. Today, Farm Fresh has grown into one of the most innovative and reliable produce distribution operations around.
Steven learned many lessons from watching his own father’s decades-long produce-handling career. He gained additional, invaluable experience as he forged his own path in the business (starting at age 18), importing and exporting sweet potatoes and other vegetables in all corners of the world.
This unique combination of farm produce roots and global distribution know-how has made Steven a recognized expert — someone others look to keep up with the latest thinking and emerging trends.
In 2010, Steven’s knowledge became the foundation for Farm Fresh, a family owned company headquartered in eastern North Carolina. In the years since, Steven has assembled a talented team that has helped the company become specialists in two things: harvesting genuine North Carolina & Mississippi sweet potatoes, and bringing effective new ideas to market.
One of those ideas is that the best way to serve the needs of our growing partners and buyers is by being selective, both in the produce we sell and the people we work with. Choosing growing partners based on quality and commitment — rather than size — has the added advantage of helping this family business support and sustain real family farms.
As a result, we maintain great partnerships with experienced local growers. We have a commitment to offering the kind of quality, reliability and service that adds up to the best value in the business. We reinvest in our operations to ensure steady, strategic growth (including bringing a second package and storage facility online in 2017). And we have a hunger to keep finding better ways to deliver exactly what you need.
