Ensure Your Produce Drives Profit

Every business has its own needs and product specification requirements. Receiving inconsistent produce from your current suppliers can result in lost sales and profit.

From Local Orchard to National Network

Joe Comito’s love for produce began when his father, Joe Comito Sr., started a fruit stand in Des Moines in 1949 and soon after acquired an orchard. Now owned and operated by three of the Comito brothers, Kieran, Brendan, and Christian, Capital City Fruit now has farms around the world and still works closely with customers to provide high-quality, delicious produce to their end-users.
