New organic vegetable specialty division to serve the Southwest

Duncan Family FarmsĀ®, a multi-regional, family-run certified organic farm specializing in lettuces, greens, and veggies, partners with Coosemans-Phoenix LLC to create Duncan Family Farms Specialties.

The joint venture delivers a streamlined approach for customers and consumers by providing faster delivery of truly local fresh herbs, microgreens, Shishito peppers, and more. Duncan Family Farms' specialty crop production combined with Coosemans' local packing and distribution expertise, allows for more nimble requests, fewer food miles, and direct access to the farm.

The new entity combines Duncan Family Farms' specialty crop production with Coosemans' local packing.

"Nearly a decade ago, I sat down with Will Feliz of Duncan Family Farms to discuss the opportunity of growing fresh, organic, culinary herbs domestically," said James Macek, president of Coosemans-Phoenix. "It's amazing to see that conversation coming to fruition with this formal partnership that bolsters regional food solutions."

Duncan Family Farms Specialties will primarily serve the Arizona market, along with Nevada and California. The company's goal is to master operations in the Southwest United States, providing farm-to-shelf solutions to broaden its reach and capabilities in the future.

"We are very excited about this partnership and the benefits it will bring to our team members and customers," said Will Feliz, CEO at Duncan Family Farms. "We've had a long and successful relationship with James Macek and the Coosemans' companies and look forward to our collective future providing quality fresh and local specialty produce."
