Myers Produce

What Myers Produce does

Myers Produce is a woman-owned regional food distributor founded in November 2013 by Annie Myers and headquartered in Craftsbury, Vermont. The company purchases vegetables, fruit, eggs, grains, meat, cheese, and value-added products from a network of 175+ growers and producers across six Northeast states (Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, and New Hampshire) and resells them to wholesale buyers. Over half of the food sold is grown or produced in Vermont. Operations are organized around three integrated service lines: Distribution (core produce brokerage and delivery), Refrigerated Freight (point-to-point transportation with rates by case, pallet, or truckload, including specialized floral freight), and Warehousing (10,000 sq ft of ambient, refrigerated, and frozen storage in Hatfield, MA, with long-term lease options).

The company's physical asset base supports a sales-led, direct-distribution model. It operates an owned refrigerated fleet of six box trucks and three vans running scheduled routes to New York City (since 2013), Boston (since 2015), and Providence and Cape Cod (since 2022), plus Vermont, Western Massachusetts, Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, and—via last-mile partners—Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard. Supporting infrastructure includes a Vermont warehouse in Hardwick managed by a dedicated Vermont driver/warehouse manager. Technology footprint is light: online inventory visibility for customers, route optimization for the fleet, and standard warehouse/inventory management. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no public API, and no software product beyond operational tooling.

Revenue mechanics span three streams: transaction-margin produce distribution (the core), transactional refrigerated freight services, and recurring warehousing/lease income. Customers span restaurants (Blue Hill, Electric Lemon, TIN Building, Mei Mei Boston, Clover Food Lab), retail (Agata & Valentina, Formaggio Kitchen, MOM's Organic Market, Siena Farms), cooperatives (Park Slope Food Coop, Buffalo Mountain Food Co-Op, Middlebury Food Coop), enterprise (Fresh Direct), and education (Arlington High School, The Mountain School, with formal eligibility under the Northeast Food for Schools Program). Headcount is approximately 20, the company is privately held with no disclosed external equity funding, and the first disclosed external capital event was a $257,280 USDA award in May 2025.

Direct peers

• Four Seasons Produce: Four Seasons is a Pennsylvania-based full-line produce distributor serving Mid-Atlantic and Northeast retailers, co-ops, and food service. It mirrors Myers's distribution-plus-warehousing model with a similar grower-aggregation value proposition.
• Baldor Specialty Foods: Baldor is a Northeast-based specialty produce, meat, and seafood distributor serving NYC restaurants and retailers with an owned refrigerated fleet and warehouse. It is the closest scaled analog to Myers Produce, competing for the same chef customers.
• Regional Access: Regional Access is an upstate New York food distributor aggregating Northeast farm products for NYC and regional wholesale customers. It is a near-clone of Myers's grower-to-buyer model and shares the same Northeast sourcing emphasis.

Broad incumbents

• FreshDirect: FreshDirect is an NYC online grocer operating its own refrigerated distribution and fulfillment. It is both a Myers customer (listed as a wholesale account) and a structural comparable for Northeast produce distribution infrastructure.
• United Natural Foods (UNFI): UNFI is the largest North American distributor of natural, organic, and specialty foods, supplying independents like MOM's Organic Market and food co-ops that also buy from Myers. It competes on scale, assortment, and private label.
• Sysco: Sysco is the largest U.S. foodservice distributor, supplying restaurants and institutions across the Northeast. It overlaps with Myers in restaurant and school segments but lacks the local-Northeast-only sourcing angle.
• Restaurant Depot / Jetro Cash and Carry: Restaurant Depot operates cash-and-carry foodservice warehouses in the Northeast serving independent restaurants. It overlaps with Myers's customer base on the supply side, though via self-distribution rather than delivery.
• KeHE Distributors: KeHE is a national specialty and natural foods distributor carrying produce, dairy, and grocery to independent retailers, co-ops, and food service. It competes with Myers at the retail/co-op segment with far broader assortment.

Regional players

• Local Food Hub: Local Food Hub is a Virginia-based nonprofit food hub aggregating Mid-Atlantic farm products for institutional and retail buyers. It mirrors Myers's farm-to-institution mission and aggregator-distributor model in a neighboring region.
• Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative: Lancaster Farm Fresh is an organic-produce cooperative of 100+ Mid-Atlantic farmers distributing to retailers and food service in the eastern U.S. It is comparable as a multi-grower aggregator and distributor, though it serves a different core geography.
