About FreshPoint Connecticut
FreshPoint Connecticut operates from a 50,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse in Hartford, Connecticut. The business traces its roots to 1865 when it was founded as Fowler and Huntting, making it one of the oldest produce distributors in the United States. The facility maintains nine distinct temperature zones and refrigerated loading docks to preserve an unbroken cold chain. A fleet of more than 60 refrigerated trucks delivers fresh and fresh-cut produce, including organic and value-added tomato items, to customers across the region. The company also offers online ordering through myFreshPoint.com, invoice management via SyscoPay, and dedicated produce specialists who assist with menu planning and market consultation. Its customer base spans healthcare facilities, educational institutions, hotels and resorts, country clubs, fine-dining and quick-service restaurants, contract feeders, theme parks, cruise lines, and export and wholesale accounts. The distributor also serves business-and-industry dining operations and local, regional, and national chains. FreshPoint emphasizes a quality assurance program that it describes as the industry's largest and most comprehensive, covering seed, soil, water sources, sustainability, and worker conditions. Buyers and QA teams conduct field and packing-facility audits, and the Hartford site holds SQF Level 2 certification with a documented HACCP program. Procurement leverage from the combined FreshPoint and Sysco spend, weekly market reports, and a key-drop delivery service are cited as key differentiators.
