Employer Introduction

Pearson Foods Corporation was founded in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1977 by the still-active CEO, David Pearson.  For Mr. Pearson, it was a seed that sprouted into a company, where his enterprise began as a two-person team hydroponically growing bean sprouts in a warehouse basement and delivering them to a handful of local accounts in a station-wagon.  Fast forward 30 years and Pearson Foods has diversified into a Midwest grower, processor and distributor of value-added fruits and vegetables. The Company operates a state-of-the-art facility with an in-house quality assurance laboratory and holds a prominent reputation for quality, customer service and foods safety.

At Pearson Foods, it is our mission to meet and exceed the food industry’s expectations in the areas of high-quality, competitively priced fresh-cut produce aligned with exceptional customer service, driven by the following four cornerstones: (1) Integrity (2) Quality (3) Customer Obsession, and (4) Innovation.

Additionally, Pearson Foods Corporation seeks to be socially responsible to the local community and the world, acting in our personal and business interests, for this is where we must live, work, and grow. In this objective, Pearson uses recyclable packaging, practices green initiatives daily, helps support the recycle circle and acts in a manner to reduce our environmental footprint.
