The Continental Fresh team operates with a “where passion meets purpose” mindset—what does that mean?

“We founded Continental Fresh in 2007 as a small, focused importer based in the Miami area. Over the years, we’ve grown and specialized in tropical imports from Latin America, including squash and cucumbers in addition to mangos.

“A major piece of our evolution is purpose: what began as a traditional import company now has “Water For All” at its core, tying a portion of our sales to clean water and sanitation projects in Latin America through the BLUE Missions nonprofit group.”

For more about Albert Perez, Continental Fresh, and the Water For All program, come back here this Saturday, January 17, for the full interview.
