Discerning buyers and decision makers take food quality seriously.

This new generation of industry leaders insists on serving exceptional, fresh, nutritious and safe farm-to-table produce as a matter of practice, not limited to special occasions or the seasons.

That’s where J.W. Lopes delivers.

Before the phrase “farm-to-table” was introduced into everyday conversation, J.W. Lopes had distinguished itself as the purveyor of choice in the farm-to-table food chain. We’ve gotten very, very good over the years at vetting exceptional produce and dairy best from the rest, applying the strictest food safety standards, such as Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP) to our facility.

As an established fourth-generation, family-owned business, J.W. Lopes wholesales only premium produce and dairy sourced from this nation’s most respected growers. The standards these growers are required to meet in order to have their produce represented among the J.W. Lopes’ select offerings are rigorous. Just-picked freshness isn’t just a goal; it’s a requirement.

We not only bring our customers the best hand-nurtured and grown produce, but we companion that with the best prices possible. We run a tight ship so that we can continue to keep our prices at their lowest possible rate, ensuring that your food purchasing power goes a long, long way.

J.W. Lopes is the trustworthy supply partner to the industry serving greater Massachusetts from Boston Harbor to Worchester and from New Hampshire on the north to Rhode Island on the south.

Fresh, frequent and friendly service is our thing.

Our green practices go way beyond lettuce

Sure our greens are super healthy. That’s a result of sourcing the purest products possible. But our operational methods are green too.

Sustainability is not just a word

We insist growers apply low environmental impact practices to their operations. Our dairy producers practice animal health, milk hygiene, animal nutrition, animal welfare, and environment and socio-economic management.

High quality in real time

We practice strict temperature adherence for fresh products at every step of the food supply chain. Our cold chain compliance optimizes flavor and nutrition.
