DIMARE FRESH INC

Food and Beverage > Fruit and Vegetables

In 1928, three brothers, Dominic, Joseph and Anthony DiMare set out to create a business. Through their hard work and shared vision, they quickly outgrew the pushcart of fresh produce and opened a storefront on Hale Street in Boston. As sales continued to increase and their reputation spread, the business relocated to the Quincy Market in 1930. Seven years later, they moved their repack operations and offices to South Boston across from the Boston Terminal Market, and by 1939 the company was marketing its produce nationally. The DiMares formed close alliances with tomato growers in Florida, Texas and California to better serve the geographic needs of the emerging supermarket chains. At the same time, DiMare Brothers became the first produce company in New England to import tomatoes directly from Cuba. By doing this, they were able to provide a year-round supply for their customers. As the success of their business continued, the brothers decided they should invest in farming operations. In 1945 they planted fields of tomatoes and opened their first packing operation in Florida. Five years later, they opened another facility and began planting in the fertile fields of the San Joaquin Valley town of Newman, California. The Florida operation expanded into Ruskin and Immokalee, Florida. The company also planted fields and opened packing operations in Indio, California and Johns Island, South Carolina.
