Farmington Fresh, located at the Stockton Metropolitan Airport, represents an important new link in the ability of California growers, packers, and shippers to improve the logistics of moving their products to valuable markets. Our facilities permit consolidation and staging of large volumes of perishable food products for dedicated airfreight shipments by charter carriers. The result is a significant improvement in the handling of these highly perishable products

In the past, local cherries, asparagus, apples, pears and other crops had to be shipped to international destinations from airports in San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose in order to obtain cargo space on planes bound for the Pacific Rim and other destinations. Now this can be handled locally.

Farmington Fresh is the only air cargo facility in the world that is capable of staging an entire load for a 747 type aircraft in a refrigerated warehouse and positions the aircraft at the warehouse door for loading. This insures that the cold chain is never broken.

Farmington Fresh is also a receiver for inbound shipments of perishables including flowers, seafood, and fruits and vegetables. Our facility can also handle shipments of dry freight.

Recently, the addition of our updated and technologically advanced cherry line allows us to cleanly and gently clean, sort and process cherries at phenomenal speeds. For more information on the cherry line, click here.

Our improved and expanded apple line permits us to not only clean and sort the freshest apples from our orchards, but carries our apples directly to processing our Sweet Apple Bites line of fresh sliced apples.
