To-Jo increases production, completes facility expansion
To-Jo Mushrooms Inc., a family-owned-and-operated grower-shipper of fresh and prepared mushrooms based in Avondale, PA, has recently expanded its farm production through the securing of an additional 200,000 square feet of mushroom-growing capacity. These new growing beds will be dedicated to both white and brown mushroom production and will enable To-Jo to harvest an additional 8 million pounds of product annually to better serve its customer base.
The increase in production coincides with the completion of an 8,000 square foot expansion of its Avondale headquarters that includes a new state-of-the-art fresh mushroom receiving area, additional cold-storage capacity and a new pre-cleaned mushroom processing area.
The expansion is in line with the company's strategic vision, and will enable To-Jo to keep pace with the growing demand for mushrooms in both the foodservice and retail divisions of its business.
"By continuously improving our facilities and increasing our production capacity for our customers we will ensure that only the freshest, highest-quality products will be delivered out from our facilities on a daily basis," To-Jo President Tony D'Amico said in a press release. "These improvements will help keep To-Jo at the forefront of an ever-expanding mushroom category."
To-Jo services and collaborates with many of the larger retailers, restaurant chains and foodservice distributors across the country. The company distributes its full line of fresh mushrooms through its company-owned fleet of vehicles and offers its value-added lines of products nationally through a wide network of distribution partners.
