Frontier Produce, a produce distribution company based out of Oklahoma, joined FreshEdge, a family of best-in-class fresh food distribution companies backed by Wind Point Partners. For three decades, Frontier Produce has been providing premium-quality fruits and vegetables, proteins, dairy and specialty items to a vast assortment of foodservice establishments throughout the state of Oklahoma and southwest Missouri including restaurants, hotels, school systems, caterers and more. With a strong passion for community that runs deep in their Oklahoma roots, Frontier aims to add value to their customers’ businesses by offering unmatched customer service and a selection of the freshest produce on the market. Frontier Produce operates out of three facilities, two in Tulsa, Oklahoma and one in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. All together these facilities boast over 80,000 square feet of warehouse space.

FreshEdge now operates more than 1.3 million square feet of warehouse space across 35 facilities with a fleet of more than 1,100 trucks. 

“Frontier Produce has established a solid reputation, and we are confident they will continue to build upon our company values centered around people, relationships, integrity and focus on the customer,” said Steve Grinstead, CEO of FreshEdge. “We are proud to welcome them to our FreshEdge family.”

 “We are excited for this new opportunity,” said Rob DeWitt, president of Frontier Produce. “We remain committed to offering the same level of top-notch customer service and quality our customers have come to expect from Frontier Produce.”

About FreshEdge
FreshEdge is headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, and was established in 2019 with the combination of Indianapolis Fruit and Piazza Produce in Indianapolis and Get Fresh Produce in Bartlett, IL. Since then, numerous other best-in-class distribution companies and their respective value-added operations have joined the FreshEdge family, growing it into a super-regional leader in the fresh food industry with a focus on fresh produce and specialty food items. FreshEdge’s footprint spans twenty-five states throughout the Midwest and southeastern United States. Frontier Produce represents FreshEdge’s seventh acquisition since Wind Point’s initial investment in 2022. Together, Wind Point and FreshEdge intend to continue growing FreshEdge by welcoming more fresh food distribution companies into the group—all focused on high quality produce and specialty food products, along with exceptional service—to create a unique group of complementary entities.
