As hard as it is to believe, we are running quickly towards our Fiscal 2020 that starts the first of May. Our marketing campaign for the upcoming year is:
Our Vision is Clear: Your Growth, Your Success, Your Experiences
Frosty Acres, make no mistake; our vision is clear. It is all about the growth of our members, the success we create, and the experiences we share together. As we look forward, as your cooperative, we see and understand the needs of our members. We see and understand the challenges you face, and we stand ready to address those.
Last but not least, if you missed the recent Winter Conference at the Saddlebrook Resort, outside Tampa, you missed a great event. Hopefully we will see you next time. Enjoy the photo above.
Thanks for the opportunity to serve,
Chip Walker
President & CEO

Welcome New Premier ProduceOne
|
In 1948, four Pavlofsky brothers started Mush & Sons in the basement of their family grocery store. After graduating from college, brothers Gary and Erv Pavlofsky took over the business, naming it ProduceOne and growing it from a local produce company to one of the largest produce providers in Southern & Central Ohio.
A chance meeting between Tony Anselmo and Anthony Rossi at The Northern Ohio Food Terminal led to the creation of Premier Produce and Specialty Foods, a produce company that earned a reputation for superior quality and commitment to excellence throughout Northeast Ohio.
The Pavlofsky brothers, Anselmo and Rossi saw an opportunity to collaborate. In 2013, they officially merged their two companies forming Premier ProduceOne and began offering statewide coverage to its customers.
Today, Premier ProduceOne operates distribution centers in Cleveland, Columbus, and Dayton, Ohio. Servicing foodservice establishments across Ohio, Premier ProduceOne specializes in produce and fresh specialty products.
