Our Philosophy

Foster-Caviness continually strives for outstanding quality in product and customer service within the food distribution industry. We achieve this through the implementation of new quality control standards and continuous improvement processes for our associates as well as market partners. As a result, Foster-Caviness holds our suppliers to the same level of expectation and high standards that we hold for ourselves. This relentless pursuit of excellence of never compromising the integrity of our product or the needs of our customers, have separated Foster-Caviness from corporate-based broadliners. Our simple business philosophy of hard work and total commitment to customer satisfaction has earned the company a reputation as one of the Premier foodservice distributors in the industry.

Partner Pride™
Each and every team member at Foster-Caviness takes individual responsibility for the products and services we provide to our market partners. This is our companywide philosophy of “Partner Pride.” From selecting only the freshest, purest produce to your exact specifications, to delivering safe, consistent quality just the way you like it, each “Pride” member at Foster-Caviness makes it a point to know exactly how you want to be served. From our president to our packers, we are all responsible in delivering exactly what you asked for, exactly when you need it.

“Our commitment is to demonstrate passion in this industry by providing care and consistency in our relationship with each and every market partner, whether it be a local farmer growing quality produce, a dining establishment that prepares the product in a creative and delicious way, or the end consumer that enjoys the taste and satisfaction that quality produce provides.”
