About Us
We understand both sides of the business.
Plein Produce was founded by three partners who grew up in agriculture. We have worked the field side and the market side, and saw the same problem from both: too many surprises and too little trust.
Our Story
Rooted in the Field, Focused on the Future
Plein Produce was founded by three partners with deep roots in agriculture and a shared vision: to build a fresh produce company based on honesty, transparency, and lasting relationships.
We grew up in this industry. We know the risks, hard work, and investments required at the field level, as well as the demands for consistency and quality from partners. By understanding both sides, we’ve created a model that organizes the supply chain better, eliminates unnecessary friction, and delivers real value from seed to table.

Where we are going
