B&W is one of the most trusted and sought after brands in the produce industry. For over 130 years the Baker and Burgoon families have built a reputation based on two over-riding principles…quality and year round availability.

Today B&W works exclusively with the premiere vegetable distributors in key markets throughout the United States, Canada and Europe to ensure that our watercress, arugula, mint and cilantro are available year round, fresh and only of the best quality.

Our products are distributed through major produce terminal markets, direct and through brokers to the major retail chains, and to restaurants and food service purveyors. In addition, we export extensively to Europe and England.

Our products are distributed in the major produce terminal markets in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, Detroit,Toronto and Montreal. These massive food centers were built to quickly handle hundreds of refrigerated semi-trailers a day, with round-the-clock activity that helps ensure freshness and quality.

In addition, B&W distributes special cello packs and EuroWrap sleeved bunches to large and small retail chains throughout the country. Some of the chains that use B&W products include: Albertsons, A&P, Food Emporium, Price Chopper, Publix, Genuardi’s, Kroger, Shopwell, Safeway, Dominicks, Hanneford Brothers, Market Basket, Shaw’s, Stop N Shop and King’s Super Markets. These are but a few of the chains that rely on B&W’s year round quality.

In recent years new emphasis has been placed on special distribution for restaurants and food service purveyors. B&W’s special line of food service products are tailored to the unique needs of restaurants and their safety and backroom operational needs. These custom packs are 100% useable and include special cuts tailored to chefs' requirements, such as no ice and reesealable zip-lock bags.. Specialized food service distributors throughout our service area deliver these products year round.

B&W Watercress also has a significant and important client base outside of the United States. Our products are distributed in Canada, England, France and the Carribean. In Canada, the burgeoning Chinese population drives their growing demand for watercress. In England, our traditional and certified organic watercress are shipped throughout the Winter and Spring. And the French rely on B&W when winter storms interrupt their local crops. B&W has always been the preferred brand for the resorts and cruise lines of the Carribean islands.

In addition, B&W maintains special distribution agreements with key transportation resources to ensure timely and convenient availability. Top companies such as Verdelli, Sanwa Growers, Modern Mushroom, Country Fresh Mushroom, SouthMill, Rubin Brothers ADS and others combine to make the B&W brand the freshest, most widely available brand for watercress and specialty leaf vegetables in the world.

One relatively new group of partner/customers are our good friends at the Sysco/Fresh Point network. B&W is proud to directly serve Fresh Point Affiliates including P.Tavilla, Carnival Fruit, Fresh Point Riveria Beach, Movsovitz, Fresh Point Dallas, Atlantis Finest. In addition many other Fresh Point divisions receive our products through other distributors.

We thank this great group of produce professionals for being a part of the B&W Quality Growers family. Your support and input continue to make us better at what we do.
