Alpine Fresh

What Alpine Fresh does

Alpine Fresh LLC is a privately held, Florida-domiciled produce grower-importer that cultivates and distributes a portfolio of fresh fruits and vegetables — including asparagus, French beans, Brussels sprouts, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, fresh-cut mango, and fresh-cut pineapple — through major U.S. retail chains such as Costco and Vons. The company self-describes as one of the largest importers of blueberries into the United States, and grows product across multiple regions in North America, Central America (Guatemala), and South America to deliver year-round availability in both conventional and organic varieties. The organic line is branded under the Hippie Organics sub-brand. All produce is positioned as Non-GMO.

The company's operations span the full fresh-produce value chain: multi-region growing and sourcing, a state-of-the-art hand-slicing processing facility in Tecate, Mexico (used for fresh-cut mango and pineapple with no preservatives or additives), and distribution to retail customers. The processing model is intentionally manual — hand-slicing and hand-harvesting (e.g., French beans) — which provides a labor-cost structure enabled by its Mexican facility. The company maintains active membership in major produce industry associations, including the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) and United Fresh Produce Association, and participates in industry events such as Southern Exposure 2021.

Alpine Fresh generates revenue through one-time sales of fresh produce to retail customers. Its primary customer segment is U.S. retail — enterprise distribution through Costco and Vons, plus broad retail availability across the United States. The go-to-market is channel-partner driven, with no direct-to-consumer mechanism evident. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. No headcount, revenue, or funding data is disclosed in the source material.
