Easy Still Feels Fresh 70 Years Later

When you've been in fruits and vegetables as long as we have, you learn what it means to show up.

Be fresh.

Be fast.

Be easy.

And that's what our family business has been catering to customers for 70 years. The way we see it, it's our job to make grocers, distributors, and produce buyers' jobs stress-free. When Ed Kunkel started the company in 1951 this was the vision he set in stone for his employees.

Kunkel warehouse and logistics

In the years since, the company has been owned by workers brought up in Kunkel's service-first promise. Today, the company remains family-owned with longtime employees Tony and Jon Morimoto at the head.

Kunkel team and facility

We're not brokers. We're buyers. Partners. And above all, produce people from Minnesota, buying and delivering what we love.

We know the market. We know the roads. And we know what we're good at: making the hard parts of getting what you need easy.

We'll see you at the loading dock.
