North American mushroom grower and supplier South Mill Champs says it has entered a supply agreement with Mountain View Mushrooms to ensure a steady flow of high-quality mushrooms for distribution across key markets in Utah, Nevada and California.
Under the agreement, South Mill Champs also will lease and operate Mountain View Mushrooms’ packing and warehousing facilities and invest in enhanced distribution and growing operations.
“This partnership is an important step in reinforcing our distribution capabilities in the western U.S.,” Mike Pia Jr., vice president of business growth for South Mill Champs, said in a news release. “Mountain View Mushrooms has a strong reputation in the mushroom industry, and by contributing our operational and logistics capabilities, we will be able to better serve the growing demand for fresh, high-quality mushrooms in this region.”
“We are excited to work with South Mill Champs on this collaboration,” said Bart Adams, owner of Mountain View Mushrooms. “Their commitment to operational excellence aligns perfectly with our goals, and we are confident it will allow us to continue meeting our customer’s needs in new and exciting ways.”
South Mill Champs said it will expand the facility into a full distribution center, featuring the capability to provide customized packaging and labeling for mushrooms and other select produce items, such as citrus, kiwi, garlic and herbs. With its fleet of refrigerated delivery vehicles, regional growing facilities and extensive distribution network, South Mill Champs says it is well positioned to ensure on-time deliveries of fresh, high-quality mushrooms and other specialty produce.
