ACB Produce Inc

ACB Produce moves pallets of fresh fruits and vegetables for restaurants, grocers, and small buyers in New Jersey. The wholesaler sits at 135 Pacific St in Newark, a block from the rail sidings that still feed the Market-Fresh Produce Center a few miles east. Whether you need a single case of heirloom tomatoes or a full truckload of organic bananas, they handle quantities from small lots to bulk orders without fanfare.

The warehouse doors open early on weekdays, stocking everything from apples to zucchini year-round. Local chefs call ahead for specialty items such as hydroponic lettuce and juicing-grade pineapples. Drivers add dry goods to pallets when the order is large enough, turning a produce stop into a one-stop supply run.

Call ahead and the team quotes prices on the spot. They’ll stage an order for pickup or arrange a scheduled drop at your loading dock; timing depends on what’s rolling in from the field each morning. All it takes is a quick check-in, then the pallets roll out.

Set your GPS for the intersection of Pacific and Market. From Route 1&9 you’re two lefts and a right once you spot the orange awnings. Directions here: Open the map. Call (973) 522-1141 before you leave.
