Family-Owned Produce Wholesaler supplying the healthiest & freshest produce since 1977.
关于我们
A&J Produce Corporation has been in business since May of 1977. It was founded by three friends, Al Weiler, Joe Levantino, and John Tramutola, to whom the produce wholesale industry was by no means new. In fact, there was over seventy- five years of sales experience among them. In 1987, Al Weiler and John Tramutola bought out their partner and expanded the company from there.
A&J Produce's wholesale operations commenced with the purchase of three units on Row A in the Hunts Point Terminal Market, Bronx, New York, and in over 40 years in business A&J has increased in size to include multiple units on both Row A (126-133, 137-144) and Row D (450- 463). Today, A&J Produce is one of the largest wholesalers of fresh fruit and vegetables in the market, servicing the New York and Northeast Areas.
The Hunts Point Terminal Market is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Annual revenues exceed $2 billion. And it has capabilities to receive fresh produce by rail, tractor, and air cargo from virtually any place on earth. The Market caters to the largest ethnically diverse region in the world with an estimated population of 25 million people within a 50-mile radius. A&J Produce has actively participated with the ideals and goals of the Hunts Point Terminal Market for over 40 years.
A&J Produce Corporation firmly believes that the key to its success is its commitment to providing customers in the tri-state area with only the finest quality fruit and produce. All at the most affordable prices. A&J takes pride in continuing to serve the best interest of its growers and customers alike.

This Thanksgiving Eve, I’m reflecting on all the incredible people and organizations that make Grassroots Grocery’s mission of neighbors helping neighbors possible. ?? A special shoutout goes to Stephanie Tramutola of A&J Produce Corporation, who joined us at Saturday’s Produce Party to see the magic firsthand. Thanks to A&J’s generous donations—including thousands of pounds of fresh produce like the eggplant and escarole featured this weekend—we’re able to nourish more families and build stronger communities. ???? To our volunteers, supporters, and vendor partners: your time, generosity, and belief in this mission inspire us every day. Together, we’re proving that kindness and collaboration can transform parking lots into hubs of hope and connection. Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and community! Let’s keep building this movement—one Produce Party at a time. ?? #NeighborsHelpingNeighbors #ProduceParty #Gratitude #Thanksgiving #CommunityImpact

September is Hunger Action Month, a time to fight back against food insecurity for our neighbors here in NYC and communities around the world. A&J is incredibly proud to partner with Food Bank For New York City and support this mission. Thank you Food Bank for raising awareness about the persistent and growing hunger crisis in our country. We appreciate all that you do for our community and those in need! #HungerActionMonth #GiveBack #Community #FoodBankForNYC

As a young girl, my role model and mom, Myra, used to take me to The Hunts Point Produce Market in the Bronx, where she played a crucial role in ensuring that millions of families could access affordable food. And, when my mom was a little girl and food banks didn't exist yet, her father used to take her shopping not for our family, but for families in the community who were facing hunger. It has always been a long-standing tradition in our family to support families in need. ? Our work at Food Bank For New York City goes far beyond being a hunger-relief organization. We are a community dedicated to ensuring that our NYC neighbors have access to the essential food and resources they need to thrive. This reflects the true spirit of New Yorkers helping each other, a value embraced by our partners at the Hunts Point Produce Market.? ? Throughout my time in the nonprofit sector and my cherished memories of Hunts Point with my mom, I have witnessed how these families have significantly contributed to Food Bank's efforts in supplying nutritious produce to our NYC neighbors. This support is crucial in our mission to achieve food security for all New Yorkers. I am truly thankful to our dedicated Hunts Point partners for their continuous support, not only during #HungerActionMonth, but all year round.
