A Little Bit About Us

DNO Produce has its beginnings traced back to 1989, when it started as a modest co-op in Columbus, Ohio. Since then, we've flourished into a leading distributor of bulk and fresh-cut produce, particularly for the Midwest. Our mission stretches beyond mere distribution; we're dedicated to instilling fresh, healthy habits among students today and shaping the nutrition landscape for future generations. 

Acting as a cornerstone for school nutrition programs, DNO offers more than just produce; we provide fresh, nutritious solutions tailored to the unique needs of educational institutions. Whether it's fueling young minds with fresh, healthy snacks or crafting enticing meal options, we're committed to fostering a culture of wellness in schools and beyond. 

A heritage of produce. Innovating healthy solutions. 

From our cold storage solutions to innovative fresh-cut packs, DNO consistently delivers excellence with each order. Our seasoned team is comprised of industry experts well-versed in agriculture, warehousing, food safety, food science, USDA nutrition programs, and transportation logistics. 

For over three decades, DNO has remained at the forefront of mastering the delicate balance between the artistry and the science of fresh produce. As we continue to evolve, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to share our passion for healthy living and quality produce with you.

What Our Customers Have to Say

Maegan Brown, MS, RD, LD, SNS, Food Service Coordinator,
Conway Public Schools

“Our district has participated in FFVP for many years and has always struggled to find a fun variety of quality pre-cut and pre-packaged fresh fruits and vegetables for our students. Last year our produce vendor introduced us to DNO’s FRESHEALTH FFVP snacks and that struggle is now gone!

We love the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables available to order each week, along with the amazing quality! I never get complaints from our schools about the quality of the produce! Also, as a Registered Dietitian, I understand how nutrition education is an essential component of FFVP and I love the bonus of receiving the produce posters from DNO to send with the snacks each week!”
