A Premium Service

At Botsford & Goodfellow, we take pride in our distinctiveness. Unlike many of our competitors, we carefully select the products we bring to market. Once chosen, these products—and our clients—benefit from a comprehensive suite of services, fully customizable to meet even the most specific requirements.

We go beyond the role of a traditional produce broker, offering expert advice on product viability, strengthening brands through effective marketing strategies, and serving as a vital link between growers and retailers to facilitate marketplace entry and success. Our services also include planning, promoting, analyzing, and managing the sales process; providing integrated order processing via EDI, essential for working with major retail buying organizations; and overseeing third-party warehousing alongside comprehensive administrative and financial support with full transparency. Our approach is entirely flexible, allowing growers and distributors to choose a complete service package and select individual options that best suit their needs.

Throughout, we remain committed to our core values of focus, dedication, and enthusiasm, leveraging our marketing expertise and extensive network of industry contacts to reach all major retailers effectively.
