South Mill Champs, a North American mushroom grower, is expanding its distribution network in Florida with the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Baird Produce, located in the Tampa Wholesale Produce Market.
"We are excited to now be operating in Tampa and look forward to continuing the legacy of Baird Produce by delivering fresh mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables to the greater Tampa region," said Mike Pia Jr., VP of business growth at South Mill Champs. "The proximity of Tampa to our existing Winter Haven operation will create synergies that will allow us to provide quality, fresh mushrooms efficiently to this key Floridian market."
South Mill Champs operates a robust network of distribution centers across the United States, with locations in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Kennett Square, Los Angeles, New Orleans, West Sacramento, and Winter Haven (Florida). The 2023 acquisition of World Fresh Produce further enhanced its distribution capabilities by providing direct relationships with specialty produce growers across the world, allowing the company to supply its customers with a variety of specialty seasonal produce alongside their mushroom needs.
The proximity of Tampa to South Mill Champs' existing Winter Haven operation will create synergies that will allow the company to provide fresh mushrooms efficiently to this key Floridian market.
Each South Mill Champs distribution center features the capability to provide customized packaging and labeling for mushrooms and other select produce. With its fleet of refrigerated delivery vehicles, regional growing facilities, advanced logistics, and distribution network, the company is positioned to ensure on-time deliveries of fresh, high-quality mushrooms and other specialty produce.
