It was always about more than produce.

Lange was founded by Tom Lange, Farrell Gay, and Phil Gumpert over 60 years ago on the idea that hard work and doing right by cus­tomers mat­tered more than any­thing else. Were we pas­sion­ate about pro­duce? Absolute­ly. But it was more about build­ing a com­mu­ni­ty of like-mind­ed peo­ple who aren’t afraid to do the work, stay true to their word, and go the extra mile to make cus­tomers happy.

That entrepreneurial spirit remains at the heart of Lange today. We’re still moving mountains for every customer while remembering our roots and keeping our focus on the future.

Why Lange

When oth­ers see blocked roads or stalled growth, we see a chance to forge a new path forward. We believe ser­vice, integri­ty, and embrac­ing the future pro­vide the best oppor­tu­ni­ties for suc­cess — for our cus­tomers and ourselves.
