Our Eastern Vegetable Assortment

Avatar for AdminAdmin

E. Armata doesn’t operate like other produce distributors in NYC. They run their business with something that can easily be forgotten by others, family values. Since the late 1800s, E. Armata Inc. has been serving New York the best quality produce they can offer. Even with just a small variety of fruits and vegetables, Erasmo Armata had extremely high standards. He knew the importance of quality, and that his customers deserved the best. The business has expanded with the help of Erasmo’s sons, grandsons and great-grandsons throughout the years. They were one of the first 128 companies to move into the Hunts Point market. This has allowed them to sell the best produce available at a larger scale to the New York City metropolitan area and beyond. No matter how larger their business grows, they maintain the same values of honor, quality, and hard work.
