SyscoSysco CentralCentral TexasTexas LocalLocal SuppliersSuppliers WelcomeWelcome toto CentralCentral Texas!Texas! At Sysco Central Texas, we know you want to buy local, and so do we! We are proud of our commitment to purchase products locally, whenever possible. Our story begins in Texas, where our founder, John F. Baugh, created Sysco. He grew up in Waco during the depression era, where he began his lifelong passion with the food industry at an A&P grocery store as a stock boy. Eventually he became the manager, and in 1946, he and his wife Eula Mae founded a new company, Zero Foods. They began selling and distributing frozen foods to restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools, fast-food stores and grocery chains. While Americans began eating out more and more, John envisioned a national foodservice distribution organization and shared ideas with industry friends across the country. His dream became a reality in 1970, when Zero Foods and eight other companies joined together to form Sysco in Houston, Texas. Whether purchasing meats, desserts, breads, produce or dairy, you can count on many of the products you order to come from Texas. Our local partnerships help us meet demand, maximize efficiency, and deliver consistently fresh quality products. Over 800 Sysco Central Texas employees support local companies, because we believe these products are superior in quality and meet the high specifications our customers expect. That’s why we suggest to “Go Local.... Go Texan!” Stephen Higgs President, Sysco Central Texas 1 What’s Inside?

Together they founded Urban Produce, growing lettuces and leafy greens year round, to provide locally grown produce in the central Texas region. Both with business backgrounds, these MBA-educated farmers have a passion to bring the freshest produce possible to Texans. Using technology to tame the climate and science to maintain food safety, the Reynolds family put a personal touch on every head of lettuce shipped to their customers. Their greenhouse, located in the heart of Texas, can produce a thousand heads of lettuce and leafy greens each day, including basil, frisee, radicchio, and specialty greens (and Produce reds) for salad mixes. To ensure safety, they keep a closed door to pests and the outdoors, farming entirely inside a computer managed greenhouse. Inspected and certified by the USDA for proper growing and handling techniques, they also avoid the use of herbicides, insecticides and pesticides. The Urban Produce tagline, “Same day harvest, from our farm to your fork,” expresses their commitment to deliver the freshest produce available to the region.
