What Is a Wholesale Food Distributor?

AdminMarch 23, 2020

At E. Armata Inc., our company has pulled itself up from humble beginnings to become a staple wholesale food distributor in the Hunts Point Market. But what is a wholesale food distributor, and how do we work to the benefit of our customers? Our team at E. Armata Inc. would love to answer these questions for you today.

What Is A Wholesale Food Distributor?

Most, if not all, supermarkets, smaller shops, and restaurants do not grow the fruits and vegetables they sell and serve on their own. As a result, they outsource this need and have produce delivered right to their location. Rather than work with an array of individual growers and shippers to achieve this, stores and restaurants tend to team with wholesale food distributors, such as E.Armata Inc., to keep inventory stocked conveniently. At E. Armata Inc., our network of growers and shippers allow us to provide businesses with produce in bulk quantities, so they’re always able to meet their consumer’s needs.

Our Distribution Process:

At E. Armata Inc., we have spent years perfecting our craft, ensuring that our customers are always left satisfied. We have been able to overcome many of the challenges wholesale food providers face, attributing greatly to our success. Below is a snapshot of the process we have meticulously designed to make sure we always live up to the standards our company was founded on:

The first step to success for wholesale food distributors is cultivating relationships with the best growers and shippers. We have spent the past four decades doing this, so you can trust all the fruits and vegetables you receive are of the highest quality.
Once we’ve received the produce, it is placed in our state of the art facility until it is ready to be sent out. We use RF guns to track each item from the time it is dropped off to when it leaves our doors to maintain accountability. This process also lets our consumers shop for and pick their orders more efficiently.
As the final step in our process, it’s our responsibility to make sure we distribute our produce while it is still fresh. The trucks we use are temperature-controlled to keep the fruits and vegetables fresh longer. We also constantly monitor the speed of our drivers to ensure drop-offs are being done safely.

Commitment to Excellence!

When asked, “what is a wholesale food distributor,” the standard E. Armata Inc. has set should always come to mind. This company has had a commitment to excellence since the beginning. Our employees never settle for providing any services that are less than the best, which is something we take pride in for our customers. If you’re ready to work with one of the top wholesale food distributors in the area, be sure to contact us today.

Veggie Skeleton:

Vegetables look more fun and tasty when they’re in fun shapes. This recipe is super easy and diverse. It can also be made out of fruits too, whatever you decide! Essentially, you choose whatever fruits and/or vegetables you want and form them to look like a skeleton. A popular one is using carrots or celery sticks for the bones, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes for torso and feet, ranch dipping sauce cup for the head, and maybe some olives for the eyes. You can find all of these at E.Armata Inc, located at the Hunts Point Produce Market. Kids can be picky but they are more willing to try new things when they look fun and enjoyable.

Pumpkin Dippers:

This recipe is super easy and cute to make. Layer the bottom of the serving tray with hummus, plain or choice of flavor. Then cut carrots into circles, chop up small pieces of fresh parsley, and connect them with a toothpick. This makes them look like little “pumpkins” and become more appealing and festive than boring carrots. You can make as many as you need. They are healthy, unmessy and easy to make and eat. Hummus, carrots, and parsley are all good for you so this recipe promotes health without ruining flavor or appeal.

Banana Ghosts:

This treat is a little sweeter than the previous two and super easy to make. Start by peeling a few bananas and cutting them in half. Then, stick a popsicle stick into the flat part of the banana. For the face, you can use milk or dark chocolate chips and for the mouth use raisins (plain or chocolate covered). They’re quick, easy and your kids will love them! Find fresh bananas every day at E. Armata!
