Keany Produce & Gourmet began in 1978 with a man, a truck and a restaurant. From that beginning, the tenets of doing business with Keany have been fairness, human consideration, and personal attention - whether you are a customer, a grower or an employee. For four decades, the Keany family has been serving its customers in ways other produce companies can't, or won't. This is the Keany Way - going the extra mile, delivering on every detail. This has been the company's only plan for business, and four decades of consistent growth has validated its wisdom.
As the region's longest-tenured distributor, Keany was first to offer special services that have since been adopted by others:
-Priority on local, peak-season sourcing, enhanced by deep personal relationships with the region's premier local growers.
-Personal inspections for incoming and outgoing shipments, often conducted by a Keany principal, to ensure the highest quality produce.
-Special cut capability that has expanded to become Keany Kuts - offering upwards of 1700 specialty cuts, the broadest line of custom-prepared produce in the region.
-Keany Express provides a broad range of urgent and same day express services.
-Sustainable practices, including redistribution of excess inventory back to farms for processing.
-Gateway to Gourmet program, bringing new produce products and menu ideas to chefs at their restaurant.
-Distribution up to six days/week for most customers, with flexible customer service hours for ordering.
Today, Keany Produce & Gourmet operates with two world class facilities, in Landover, MD and Richmond, VA. It's original panel truck is now a fleet of more than 170 state-of-the-art, refrigerated produce trucks, distributing to customers in MD, VA, NC, PA, DE, and Washington, DC. The Keany Product line includes not only every variety of fruit and vegetable that can be found, procured and freshly delivered - but a robust collection of dairy, seasonal and gourmet products.
