Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have produce delivered to my home?

No. Lily Jo’s Produce Delivery is a wholesale supplier of produce to the restaurant industry. We serve commercial accounts like hotels, restaurants, hospitals and large communal living focused enterprises and nonprofits, such as churches and colleges.

How do I place an order for produce?

To get started give us a call or fill out our contact form. We will assess your needs, customize your pricing and establish your delivery days and best method for communicating your orders. We are relationship driven and are happy to come by and meet you so as to fully understand your needs and wants - and how we can keep it simple, fast, stress-free and reliable.

Does pricing for produce fluctuate?

Yes. This is referred to as the “Market Rate” - the rate charged at the wholesale produce markets around Tampa. Our prices will fluctuate up and down according to these market prices. We pass along price drops and increases equally to ensure a fairness for you - never sticking to a price “high” after the price has dropped.

Where does the produce come from?

In Tampa Bay nearly all produce is delivered to the wholesale markets in Tampa, where it is then purchased and resold or delivered all over the region. This follows the same '“hub and spoke” model of distribution which has been used for commerce for thousands of years. Our model is no different, the bulk of the produce we deliver comes from the farmers, by way of the wholesale markets in Tampa. One difference is our specialty items using our industry connections. Want morel mushrooms that no one else can get? We’ve got you covered.

Do you guarantee your produce?

Absolutely. We only accept the produce we know our customers want and reject produce all the time. Because we take a “hand-selected” approach to wholesale produce supply we can guarantee our produce. If you ever have a problem simply contact us and we will make it right, guaranteed.

Can you compete with Restaurant Supply warehouses and membership warehouses which sell large quantities of produce?

Absolutely. We’ve never been beat on overall price and quality by any company. You’ll save anywhere on average from 10-25% plus save yourself the trip to pick it up.

Can delivery days be customized?

Does Lily Jo ever personally deliver produce?
