Church Brothers Farms hires logistics director

SALINAS, CA — November 12, 2026 — Church Brothers Farms BB #:161800 today announced that Sergio Torres has joined the company as Director of Transportation & Logistics (US/MX).

The newly created role reports to Jeff Church, Chief Operating Officer, and unites the company’s U.S. and Mexico transportation operations under one team.

Torres brings more than 18 years of transportation and logistics experience in the fresh produce industry, including U.S.–Mexico cross-border freight, refrigerated transportation, carrier management, and retail service performance.

Most recently, Torres served as Logistics Manager at Braga Fresh Family Farms/TheogCompanies, where he built the company’s delivered-freight program from the ground up, led freight P&L and carrier sourcing, and managed refrigerated transportation strategy.

Earlier, he spent a decade at Driscoll’s, where he led U.S.–Mexico cross-border logistics, cold-chain compliance, and claims recovery. He holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing communications from California Lutheran University and is fluent in English and Spanish.

“Sergio’s experience across fresh produce, cold chain, and cross-border freight is exactly what our team needs as we build a stronger transportation network for our customers,” said Jeff Church, Chief Operating Officer at Church Brothers Farms.

Torres will oversee transportation on both sides of the border, including U.S. transportation and logistics, appointment loading, the company’s delivered freight program, and the movement of finished product from Church Brothers’ processing plant in San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, to customers across the U.S. Bringing the teams together will give customers one standard for cold-chain handling, carrier performance, and on-time delivery.

“I’m excited to join Church Brothers and work with the teams across the company,” said Torres. “My focus is on building a transportation organization that delivers consistently for our customers, regardless of where we’re shipping from.”
