Strawberries from Florida
One thing Florida is known for besides oranges are strawberries. Florida is the second largest producing region in the U.S., currently providing approximately 8,000 acres of strawberries. In fact, the second most popular natural flavor after chocolate is you guessed it...strawberry. As shoppers go to stores to grab the ripest, reddest berry they can get their hands on most don't stop to think of the amount of work that goes into putting that smile on their face. 10 muscles to smile...but seconds, hours, days, weeks, months to years to perfect that sweet flavor we all love so much.
Thousands of seasonal workers spend months in Florida making sure strawberries are picked at the optimum time for the best flavor. Carrier's head to Florida to transport pallets of cold, ripe berries to the biggest distributors who stock their stores with the best "strawberry specials." Consumers may not realize the amount of people involved in the process; planters, pickers, loaders/unloaders, drivers, quality control and salesmen. At the end over 100 people are responsible for each and every strawberry that is eaten.
Allen Lund Company takes our role seriously. We work hand in hand with logistics and transportation managers, salesmen and loading sheds to get hundreds of loads of Florida strawberries to their destination in perfect shape. We use the most qualified, professional drivers and carriers available to put the rubber to the road for buyers nationwide. As Allen Lund Company recently celebrated 40 years in business, we look forward to another 40 plus years to keeping your family happy, and keeping it fresh.
