San Diego has tons of churches, temples, and other religious sites. But there’s also a hallowed home for produce here. We’re sort of kidding, sort of not, but in case you didn’t know, now you do–this is Specialty Produce, the culinary destination where chefs (and in-the-know locals) shop.
Founded in 1989 by the Harrington brothers, Specialty Produce is a key player in the city’s food scene. The warehouse is a hub for the freshest and most vibrant fruits and vegetables, including rare varieties not easily found elsewhere, and throughout San Diego, there’s hardly a restaurant in town without a Specialty Produce truck parked out front.
Beyond a local perspective, Specialty Produce is also home to teams of passionate foodies, data wizards, and explorers, tracking produce trends across the globe. Digitally, they use advanced analytics to help you stay in the know about what produce items are the most sought after locally, regionally, and globally. They also send researchers worldwide to scour farms and markets in urban and remote destinations, all to share the story of fruits and vegetables. And now we’re sharing it with you.
