History
Bill Holden had a map of New Hampshire and boxes of fresh mushrooms in the back of his car when he started selling produce in 1990. Holden saw an opportunity to sell fresh mushrooms to restaurants - at the time, most were using canned mushrooms and his uncle Mario had invested in a mushroom farm and needed a sales rep in southern New Hampshire. So Holden, a Boston native, packed up his car and headed north. Holden soon realized that his customers needed more than just fresh mushrooms --they also wanted a variety of fresh produce. He decided to buy fresh produce from large markets in Boston and deliver to New Hampshire. Within months, he bought a delivery truck. and eventually a fleet of trucks to supply farm fresh products from Boston to Southern New Hampshire. 25 years later, Holden Produce is still a family-owned and operated business. Today, we have a warehouse facility and processing facility just outside The New England Produce Market.
