Procacci Bros., a major wholesaler in the Northeast, operates Garden State Farms at the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market.  In addition, Procacci has warehousing in South Philadelphia along with a farming operation in South Jersey.

Vendors and customers have confidence in Procacci Bros. because of its mission to grow and strengthen the business of its customers, its history of integrity, and respected brands. 

Despite the ups and downs of the past year, Philadelphia’s B.R.S. Produce has been able to keep a steady business flowing for customers. “We’ve been able to maintain the same people and the same space,” said Rick Milavsky, B.R.S. president.

“I have a great work crew and we’ve worked hard over the past year to continue to serve our customers with the best products at good volume,” he said.

As a licensed customs brokerage company specializing in providing customs brokerage services to importers of fresh produce, J&K Produce appreciates all the amazing work that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has done during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The past year resulted in a greater push for delivery among customers at Pinto Bros.

“We’ve operated a subsidiary company, A. Penza Inc., for several years now to provide transportation and delivery services,” said Todd Penza, salesman at Pinto Bros. in Philadelphia.

“However, over the past year we’ve really seen a demand from our customers for more delivery resulting in us expanding our capabilities.”

For M. Levin & Co. Inc., a fourth-generation wholesaler and the oldest company on the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market, business is off to a strong start in 2021.

With more than a century of history tied to the Philadelphia food scene, John Vena, president of John Vena Inc., feels very strongly that this is where the company belongs.
