Western Sky Produce, a fresh produce service provider specializing in creating customized programs that incorporate all aspects of the produce industry, including procurement, distribution, logistics, and consolidation, joined FreshEdge, a family of best-in-class fresh food distribution companies backed by Wind Point Partners.

Based in the Salinas Valley of California, Western Sky Produce was established in March 2020, by Wyatt Meiggs and Phil Giles, two friends who shared a passion for fresh produce and servicing the complex supply chain of the industry. By combining their 20+ years of industry experience with their history of cultivating solid grower-shipper relationships, their goal was to develop procurement solutions that would help customers effectively navigate the perishable supply chain. Today, Western Sky Produce has an impressive record of maintaining strong working relationships in the produce industry that leads to an outstanding customer satisfaction rating.

"Western Sky Produce will be an amazing addition to our growing family of customer-obsessed companies,” said Steve Grinstead, CEO of FreshEdge. “We share the same company values centered around integrity, service, and making our customers the number one priority.”

“We strongly believe in the power of synergy and are eager to begin working alongside FreshEdge and its family of companies,” said Wyatt Meiggs, president of Western Sky Produce. "Together, we strive for increased efficiency, sustainable growth, and seamless collaboration to drive innovation and success for our customers.”

FreshEdge’s footprint spans twenty-five states throughout the Midwest and southeastern United States. Western Sky Produce represents FreshEdge’s sixth acquisition since Wind Point’s initial investment in 2022.
