See How the Gonzales Hub Will Transform Produce Logistics
Fresh Produce Supply Chains Lose Time, Shelf Life, and Margin in the First Mile
Too many pickups, inconsistent cold chain handling, and fragmented supplier networks create unnecessary cost, spoilage, and operational headaches.
Multiple handoffs increase
- damage risk
- claims
- process inconsistency
Field heat and transport delays
- shorten shelf life
- reduce freshness
- create temp variability
Partial loads and routing complexity
- increase freight costs
- create missed windows
- reduce DC/store predictability
A Single Origin-Adjacent Hub Designed to Keep Product Cold and Freight Efficient
The Gonzales Consolidation Hub allows growers and suppliers to deliver once into a temperature-controlled facility where product is received, staged, cross-docked, and shipped outbound as full truckloads to your distribution network.

Immediate access to dense grower/shipper base
US-101 frontage with fast I-5/CA-152 connections
Reduced first-mile mileage
Improved delivery schedule reliability
Faster field-to-cold transition
Food Watse Reduction
Reducing food waste is no longer just an operational priority — it is a measurable ESG advantage. Fresh produce is highly vulnerable to spoilage during the first mile, where delays, multiple handoffs, and temperature swings shorten shelf life and drive unnecessary waste.
The Gonzales Hub is designed to help tenants reduce shrink, improve freshness, and lower emissions by keeping product cold from origin through outbound shipment. By consolidating loads closer to the source, tenants can improve product quality, reduce waste-related losses, and support sustainability goals across their supply chain.
Benefits
Shorter first-mile routes
Reduced fuel consumption
Lower spoilage / shrink
Stronger cold chain uptime
Optional solar + battery microgrid
