Producers from Lancaster to Washington - DC

To our valued customers and suppliers:

On behalf of our nearly 700 dedicated employees, I would like to thank you for allowing us to be your partner in produce for the past 30 years.

At Lancaster Foods, Best Quality…Fastest Service is not just a slogan, it’s our way of life. We strive to deliver the highest quality produce wherever and whenever it’s needed. Our employees live by this principle every day. Whether it’s our Quality Assurance staff on the receiving docks, our fresh cut employees, our pickers or our drivers, everyone here at Lancaster Foods has the same goal:

Baltimore’s Public Markets are the oldest continuously operating public market system in the United States. In operation before the city’s health department and even the mayor’s office, the markets continue to maintain a tradition for which Baltimore is famous.

Smoky Mountain Family Farms is our premium tomato farm located in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.

Established in 2016, with both conventional and USDA certified organic tomatoes, we are very proud of the work we have put in at SMFF.

We grow both premium Round, Roma, Grape and Cherry tomatoes and certified organic Grape tomatoes.

For four decades, the Keany family has been serving its customers in ways other produce companies won’t, or can’t. This is the Keany Way – going the extra mile, delivering on every detail.

Keany Produce began in 1978 with a man, a van, and a customer. From that beginning, the tenets of doing business with Keany have been fairness, human consideration and personal attention – whether you were a customer, a grower, or an employee.

Hess Bros. Fruit Company is a family owned and operated business located in the heart of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

We are a third generation family-owned business that services the Mid-Atlantic region. William Deemer Class started with one stall in 1936 at the old Baltimore Marsh Market. As the business grew he expanded and moved to the Pulaski Highway Market in the 1960’s. In the 1970’s the business relocated to the newly constructed Maryland Wholesale Produce Market in Jessup, MD. This centralized location and modern facility enabled them to better serve customers in the Washington and Northern Virginia area.

Along with the same company name is the same company philosophy: delivering quality produce at a fair price, along with exceptional service. To accomplish this we have chosen to remain a small company. We are able to keep an eye on quality and can service our customers where and when they need us. When you call you are most likely talking with an owner. We had our chances to “sell out” to larger companies and let Kousouris Bros. become just another “big box” warehouse store. But we didn’t want our customers to become just a number.
