TestimonialWhat Our Partners Say

"It is important for us to keep our loyal customer base. We do so by having offerings that our competitors can't offer. We sell a lot of natural, organic and specialty foods and we do not have our own private label. UNFI has offered a line of products that allows us to compete, which has become our private label."

Rick Silvia Dave's Marketplace

"We have been in business for over 40 years and have been a partner with UNFI from the very beginning. UNFI has such a wide reach that all types of consumers are able to buy our products. UNFI's marketing programs have helped us successfully launch products to reach retailers and consumers"

Kim Butterfield VP of Sales & Marketing, New England Natural Bakers, INC.

"UNFI helped us solve our reach. UNFI became a one stop shop for us to access a much larger range of customers. UNFI provided services that most distributors don't provide. UNFI helped us grow from a small producer to a large producer."

Jeff Weaber CEO & Founder, Aqua ViTea

"We have partnered with UNFI since 2002, and it just continues to get better. Our natural selection has greatly improved and our business with UNFI has doubled. Because of our partnership we are able to offer the best products to our community. "

Derek Oliver Buyer, Fruit Center Marketplace

"We started as a retail business, but UNFI helped us to grow so much that wholesale is now our number one market. UNFI has helped us scale our business in distribution."

Anthony Green Co-Founder, Greenhouse

"Before the doors opened at Urban Greens, we had already partnered with UNFI. We knew that they offered all of the healthy food we wanted to carry. The choices of organic, Non-GMO and conventional products were a perfect fit for our business."

Allyn Jones Purchasing Manager, Urban Greens Co-op

“The introduction of UNFI into our business has been great because we can service a nice middle tier of the business on a nationwide basis through a really reputable distributor. There's a huge market share of smaller chains across the country that we've traditionally not sold into.”

Ryan Nicks CEO, Honey Smoked Fish Co

A Distributor Rooted in Shared Growth 

We’ve always had a unique perspective as a pioneering company that has grown alongside our partners. We started in regional natural food distribution. Today, we serve communities across North America as the go-to partner for independent grocers and retail chains alike.
