We Know Fresh!
Frank and Sam Tedesco are 4th generation farmers with a true “farm to fork” mentality, having spent their entire lives in agriculture and fresh manufacturing. They understand that fresh, quality products start from the time a seed is planted in the field and must maintain that same quality when the consumer takes that last bite. The Tedesco’s have local roots & a strong connection to the Vineland area, providing employment opportunities and community outreach and support.
Our Fresh Foods division, now known as Sunnyside Farms, began in 2011 focusing on a small core group of customers. True to their entrepreneurial spirit, Frank and Sam expanded the business with a larger product offering to appeal to a more diverse customer base, leading to exponential growth over the past several years. Today, we manufacture a wide assortment of fresh products in our 200,000 sq. ft. facility to satisfy the ever-changing consumer needs.
