Employer Introduction

Welcome to Riveridge...

Riveridge looks at things differently than some in this industry. We realize that only by matching the needs of our growers and our retail partners can we help both become more successful. Before we do anything, we ask ourselves one question: Will this prove beneficial to the grower and to the retailer? We continue until the answer is a clear-cut “yes.” 

Riveridge represents growers throughout Michigan, and markets approximately one-third of Michigan’s fresh crop every year. We also represent growers in the top apple producing regions of the United States, as well as those in South America.

Our six packing houses exceed all food safety requirements, and are certified as “Excellent” by Primus Labs. Riveridge packing lines have the latest computerized technology for 100% color sorting. This results in a consistent pack in both bags and trays.

We believe that only by thoroughly understanding the needs of our customers, and being closely tied to their markets, can we exceed their expectations. We make sure our staff has the frontline experience it takes to provide proven solutions.

At Riveridge, we pride ourselves on being at the leading edge of trends, and we work with growers who are also innovators. Together, our commitment to being at the forefront of market preferences enables us to have new varieties in volume ahead of most others.

Effectively handling new varieties helps our growers become more profitable, and helps retailers increase sales by carrying more of what their customers want. It’s another way Riveridge correlates the needs of both growers and retailers.

Quality Control

Our quality control people all have experience in growing. They also have run packing plants, and have been in our customers’ markets and warehouses. By continuously attending training programs and seminars, we maintain our edge with superior quality.

Sales

Our sales representatives also bring a wealth of experience. Along with backgrounds in growing, they have been in charge of produce departments and been involved in the packing, storing and processing of tree fruit. In addition, they have multi-commodity experience in both retail and wholesale operation
