Visit Niagara Fresh Fruit at Booth 610 to Discover 60+ Years of Apple Excellence at the 2024 New York Produce Show & Conference.
Niagara Fresh Fruit Co. made a notable impression at this year’s New York Produce Show & Conference, held in Manhattan from December 10-12.
Exhibiting at booth 610, the company showcased its expertise in growing, packing, and distributing premium apples from the fertile shores of Lake Ontario, just north of Buffalo, NY.
The show, a pivotal event for the fresh produce industry, provided an excellent platform for Niagara Fresh Fruit to connect with retailers, wholesalers, and other key players. Displaying their US Extra Fancy Apples, the company highlighted its commitment to delivering top-tier quality, leveraging decades of experience and advanced technology in every stage of the process.
Founded in 1961 as Bucolo Cold Storage by Joe Bucolo, the company has undergone significant evolution over the years. After Joe’s passing in 2005, his nephew Jerry Bucolo took the reins, renaming and incorporating the business as Niagara Fresh Fruit Co. in 2007. Today, Jerry’s son, Chris Bucolo, is leading the charge in expanding the company’s operations both domestically and internationally.
Visitors to booth 610 learned how Niagara Fresh Fruit combines time-honored farming traditions with cutting-edge technology to ensure a superior product. From growing to shipping, every step is carefully managed to maintain the exceptional standards the company is known for. Their apples are not only a staple in the U.S. market but are also successfully exported to various regions worldwide.
“Our careful control and management of every aspect of the process ensures that we meet the needs of our customers quickly and maintain the quality standards for which we have become known.”
Beyond the apples themselves, Niagara Fresh Fruit demonstrated its strength in logistics and documentation. As an experienced exporter, the company handles all requirements with precision, ensuring seamless delivery to international clients.
This capability positions them as a reliable partner for businesses seeking high-quality apples with minimal complications.
