| As the first Food
Alliance certified food distributor for sustainable business practices in North
America, Duck has been supplying Pacific Northwest customers with the freshest,
highest quality, fruits, vegetables and custom-cut produce for over 25 years.
In 1985 United Salad Co. purchased Duck to service the foodservice trade. Under
United Salad’s ownership, we have gone from a company of 30 employees to
a full service produce distributor of over 300 employees.
Duck combined with its parent company constitutes one of the largest produce
houses in the Pacific Northwest. We receive fresh produce seven days a week and
it is rotated four to six times a week in our warehouse. This product rotation,
combined with our quality control programs and personnel, assures our customers
the freshest product available on a daily basis.
Top quality uncut fruits and vegetables arrive at our 135,999 square foot warehouse
where they are delivered to a separate processing room. All products are inspected,
cleaned, peeled, skinned and cut by hand to precise specifications. Cut-to-order
product is carefully packaged and delivered within 24 hours. Restaurant, foodservice
and retail customers can taste the freshness in every bite.
Consistent standards of freshness and handling give you the best of both worlds:
garden fresh taste and appearance without time-consuming preparation. Ready-to-serve
carrots, celery and radishes are perfect for the salad bar or garnish. Carrot
rounds, julienne or crinkle cuts are ready to toss into your very best vegetable
dishes. No matter the product or the cut, you can be sure your vegetables will
be outstanding.
