Our History

The Sanfilippo family started Sunfarm 3 generations ago, encompassing over 80 years. We first took root in the produce business as lemon tree farmers in Italy and learned from the ground up that hard work and dedication pay off to achieve the finest product grown. Our family then moved to the United States and became purveyors of fresh produce in St. Louis. In 1980 we relocated our produce company to Produce Row. Today we continue to expand to meet our customers growing needs.

Quality Products

Sunfarm carries hundreds of items from high quality produce and dairy products to rare cheeses and vegetation from around the world. We are committed to quality and freshness, and that is why we carry the best available brands. With our experience, we've found that the best brands carry a consistent quality. This quality means that you will have higher yields, less labor, lower your waste disposal expenses and have a better tasting product.

Some of the brands we carry are:

Pricing

Produce, just like other commodities, is traded on an open market where supply, demand and Mother Nature can affect the price. Each week, we issue price quotes reflecting our best estimation of what the market price will be. You will always find cheaper, inferior produce, but at Sunfarm we believe the best quality is the best value.

Community Involvement

At Sunfarm, we know that no one can do it alone. If you are donating your time, energy and resources in support of a charity, Sunfarm is prepared to support your contribution with donations of produce. Contact your sales representative for more information.
