Grower

     Each year, we cultivate 1,200 acres of conventional and organic Jersey Fresh Produce, all inspected, cooled, and custom packed on-site.  Blueberries make up over 500 acres of the whole, producing a large percentage of the yearly volume of New Jersey Blueberries.  Our growing capabilities also include corn, cucumbers, peppers, squash, cauliflower and many other Jersey Fresh crops.  In 2016, we began growing and harvesting our first certified organic row crops and in 2019 we harvested our first organic blueberries.

Custom Packer

     Our headquarters facility is equipped with a state of the art, temperature controlled production area.  Our capabilities include a range of processes from repacking product to the more complex packing of proprietary value added items.

Cold Storage

     As New Jersey’s largest vertically integrated full service provider, we operate over 185,000 square feet of climate controlled warehouse and storage. All product is unloaded in a temperature-controlled environment and stored according to each product’s ideal temperature. Our facility refrigeration is digitally monitored in real time, 24 hours a day.

     At Frank Donio, Inc., we are able to remove field heat on-site from our freshly harvested product, to ensure immediate storage at ideal temperatures. We cool our product through either forced air cooling, vacuum cooling, or hydrocooling, allowing us to efficiently and appropriately cool any item. We also offer on-site top icing for any load to further guarantee cold chain maintenance.

With ever-evolving industry standards and regulations, we remain ahead of the curve by utilizing state of the art software that manages all business operations under an integrated platform. Owning and operating our own fleet of refrigerated trucks makes us responsive and efficient, completing the logistics chain through the final step of on-time delivery.

     With a combined 200 years of industry experience, our sales and procurement team is able to provide our customers with top-to-bottom category management support.  This includes best practices for shipping, handling, and storage for each of our products.  Our experienced team serves as a source of merchandising expertise to maximize profitability and reduce shrink.
