Éric Fréchette, President - Taste of The North
About us
Éric Fréchette founded Taste of the North from his passion for selling fresh produce to support his education. After earning a finance degree, he returned to his roots, supplying meticulously grown produce to New England businesses.
Over the past 30 years, we've evolved from door-to-door strawberry sales to distributing top-quality fruits and vegetables across New England. Our success stems from our commitment to delivering superior freshness, working with top producers, and minimizing the time from harvest to delivery.
With a robust distribution system, a fleet of refrigerated trucks, and a dedicated team, we ensure the highest quality produce. Our faith in our products is unwavering—we eat what we sell! Taste of the North guarantees quality and freshness, making us the ideal partner for your business needs.
An awakening of the senses
Before putting our label on any products we distribute, we make sure they meet all our quality standards. We also take special care in selecting suppliers to guarantee consistency of supply for our customers. In addition, our northern climate has a positive influence on the quality of greenhouse fruits and vegetables-temperatures can be controlled more easily, which means better produce for your customers. Over time, we have surrounded ourselves with producers who have the same goals of freshness, quality, and availability, and who share our values in terms of customer service. Our efficient delivery system and the location of our distribution center-less than 5 hours away from most of our customers-ensure consumers get fresh produce delivered shortly after harvest.
Quality and Freshness
The end justifies the means-this old saying applies perfectly to our approach. Because we are committed to offering only the best quality fruits and vegetables, we are continually investing in ways to optimize the freshness of the products we distribute. Fast delivery, training, and monitoring of our suppliers are among the key elements for achieving our goals.
