About Us
About Bari Produce
Bari Produce is a family-owned produce company rooted in the San Joaquin Valley of Central California and built on generations of agricultural experience. We carry forward a family legacy rooted in farming, quality, and pride in the fruit we grow.
Our story traces back to Bari, Italy, where daily market shopping and fresh produce were a way of life. That tradition came with Panteleo Logoluso when he moved his family to Central California in the early 1900s and it continues today through the standards we uphold.
That mindset shaped the Bari® label more than 60 years ago. It still guides how we select, manage, and deliver fruit today so that we continue to deliver the best of the best in size, flavor, and quality. Then and now, it stands for the same thing: great-eating fruit you can regularly count on.
While the industry has grown more complex, our approach remains personal. We stay close to the fruit, close to our growers, and close to every order—because that’s how dependable results are delivered.
Our family’s history in farming and produce sales shapes how we operate today. We value long-term relationships. We believe consistency matters more than volume. And we take pride in delivering fruit that shows well, eats well, and arrives exactly as expected.
Our Bari Team
Behind every order is a team that understands fruit, timing, and the realities of the produce business.
Our sales team is hands-on and experienced. They work directly with growers, packing operations, and buyers to ensure expectations are clear and standards are met. There’s no handoff to someone unfamiliar with your program. You’re working with people who know your specs, your season, and what success looks like on your shelf.
You’ll find our team approachable, responsive, and steady. We are focused on making ordering easier, communication clearer, and outcomes more predictable.

What Food Safety Means To Us — And Why It Matters
Food safety is not an afterthought at Bari Produce. It’s a responsibility we take seriously at every step of the process.
We believe safe food protects everyone involved, from growers and packers to buyers and consumers. Strong food safety practices support confidence in the supply chain and ensure the fruit you receive meets today’s expectations for quality and care.
Our growers and packing partners follow established food safety protocols, with regular audits and certifications to maintain compliance. These practices help protect product integrity, preserve shelf life, and reduce risk.
