Beachside Produce was launched in July 2003. It was a spin out of the fresh produce portion of an existing entity that sold fresh and processed produce. The third and fourth generation farmers that supplied the produce to the public entity seized the opportunity to merge their family businesses into a premiere fresh vegetable firm and vertically integrated their farming expertise with the seasoned sales and operational staff that made the transition with them to Beachside.
