DAVIS, Calif. — Superior Farms announced the opening of a new, efficient facility and expanded local distribution in Boston. Superior Farms also announced today a distribution partnership with Crescent Packing, a local meat distributor for the New York metro market. Customers in Boston and New York metro will now receive the service of a local distributor coupled with the resources of the largest lamb company in North America.
Beginning on February 6th, Superior Farms will provide improved customer access and expanded local wholesale delivery options through their new distribution location in south Boston. Having served the Boston market for over 14 years, the new distribution center, strategically located at 115 Newmarket Square, is less than one block from their longtime facility at 155 Southhampton Street. In addition to the new location, Superior Farms is adding local delivery service, previously outsourced to freight companies. The new service will provide more frequent delivery options for local Boston and New England wholesale business.
