A family tradition since 1926
Fresh Produce
for a Healthier Tomorrow
Henderson’s Best has been growing, packing and delivering fruits and vegetables for generations. Our commitment to fresh, safe, nutritious and delicious produce is as strong today as when Nun Henderson began his wagon route in 1926.
Our heritage
Rooted in Tradition
In 1926, Nun Henderson began delivering the fruits and vegetables he grew on his family farm by buckboard wagon. That simple beginning grew into a family company built on hard work, family values and a deep respect for the land.

From field to market
Our Capabilities
We take responsibility for every step, from planting the seed to delivering directly to the grocer, so our customers receive the finest produce available.
Quality you can taste
Freshness, Safety and Nutrition
We are committed to fruits and vegetables that are fresh, safe, nutritious and delicious. Each harvest is pre-cooled, washed, packed and shipped by midnight to reach the grocer’s shelves within 24 to 48 hours.
People behind the produce
A Strong Workforce
Our team of workers is our most important asset. From the forklift to the line worker, the computer analyst to the truck driver, we share a high work ethic and a commitment to excellence.
Stewardship
Care for the Land
We practice good stewardship of the land through sound environmental practices, including Integrated Pest Management so we use the safest pesticides available, in the minimal amount.
Innovation
Modern Solutions
We installed the first controlled atmosphere apple storage unit in North Carolina, and today we use Electronic Data Interchange and an overwrap packaging line to meet the changing demands of the marketplace.
