The heat is on in the kitchen with Chef Mark Yu, Executive Chef at 53, in our Fresh Picks Chef Series. One ingredient, two exceptional dishes—watch as he works with water spinach using flash-fried and stir-fried techniques, showcasing its unique flavors and textures. We've sampled the results, and he's taking its versatility to a whole new level! Thank you to Chef Mark Yu and the team at 53 for giving us such an incredible experience! #53NYC #BaldorFreshPicks #WaterSpinach

Meet Pablo Velez, our dedicated Hilo Supervisor III at Baldor. He started as a Hilo driver in the freezer, and with over 10 years of experience in foodservice, retail, and wholesale, he's an essential part of our team. Pablo has been leading the picking team for two years and loves the challenge of making sure our daily operations stay on track. “I am Mexican American and I began at Jetro in Hunts Point, gaining the knowledge I needed. I joined Baldor in 2021 as a Hilo driver in the freezer. It was initially intimidating, but seeing how big the operation is made me want to learn more. Even though no days are the same with outbound operations, I enjoy the challenge of making everything run smoothly.” How does Baldor support your professional growth and development? "I have a leadership team that coaches me and always tells me to look at the bigger picture in everything. I'm am lucky to have Natanael DeJesus, one of Baldor's veterans as one of my mentors. He was actually the one to hire me back in 2021. Baldor made realize I'd like to have a career here." We’re grateful to have you on our team and appreciate all that you do, Pablo!

As the "to" in "farm to fork," we at Baldor believe we have a critical advocacy role in supporting regulations that impact both ends of our supply chain. Our leadership team Benjamin Walker, Margaret Magnarelli, Scott Crawford, and Scott T. King was proud to collaborate with International Fresh Produce Association to engage congressional representatives about the Farm Bill. This vital legislation helps our farmer partners thrive while also increasing access to healthy foods for those facing food insecurity. We were honored to meet with influential policymakers, including Senator Debbie Stabenow, Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, and Rep. 'GT' Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. Together, we are working towards a future where fresh produce is accessible to all. #FarmBill #FoodSecurity #PolicyAdvocacy
