Cross-Docking and Producer Direct Services
CPW works with 20+ regional producers delivering their products on our trucks.
This allows small businesses to expand the reach of their products. Taking advantage of our cross docking service increases efficiency and decreases travel time and fuel usage, leading to a lower carbon footprint.
How it Works:
1. Order directly from the producer, who will update you on availability and general delivery timeline.
2. The producer consolidates orders and delivers them with invoices or shipping documents to CPW.
3. CPW delivers the product on our next regular shipment to the mutual customer.
4. CPW bills the producer for delivery.
Interested in cross docking with us?
First, set up a vendor account. Destination customers must be mutual customers of CPW.

EXPERIENCE MELON HARVEST
with our longtime, local partner Featherstone Farm
“There’s just no way to overstate how completely unique and vital this warehouse is in providing a national model for food system change. And in particular, how the clear-eyed vision of CPW Produce Buyer Rick Christianson has led this industry forward for three decades, locally, regionally and even nationally. Rick’s steadfast commitment to seek out, develop and nurture long-term relationships with small and medium-sized family farmers from all parts of the country, has been a total inspiration to me and to so many others.”
“I often think of how critical our CPW driver, sales team and warehouse staff is to our community. Without every single person involved in the supply chain Marquette’s food landscape would be drastically different. We both appreciate and rely upon CPW to provide our community with the healthy food that is often so difficult to get in our far northern region.
Our sales representative is incredible. She is so personable, accommodating and friendly, it reminds me of a farmer to consumer connection. She really helps us feel connected to CPW and the food.”
