KENNETT SQUARE, PA — South Mill Champs has expanded its distribution network in Florida with the recent acquisition of Baird Produce, located in the Tampa Wholesale Produce Market. This strategic move will enhance the company’s ability to deliver fresh mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables to the Tampa region.
“We are excited to now be operating in Tampa and look forward to continuing the legacy of Baird Produce by delivering the freshest 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,” he added.
South Mill Champs, one of North America’s largest mushroom producers, operates a comprehensive network of distribution centers across the U.S., including locations in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New Orleans, West Sacramento, and Winter Haven. The 2023 acquisition of World Fresh Produce has further strengthened its distribution capabilities, allowing the company to supply a variety of specialty seasonal produce alongside mushrooms.
Each distribution center offers customized packaging and labeling for mushrooms and select produce. With a fleet of refrigerated delivery vehicles, regional growing facilities, advanced logistics, and an extensive distribution network, South Mill Champs is well-equipped to ensure timely deliveries of high-quality, sought-after mushrooms and specialty produce.
