The Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative (MARC) is a regional produce distribution system for Feeding America food banks. We cover from New England to Virginia with 23 participating food banks. Currently the MARC distributes approximately 1.5 million pounds of produce a month.
James DeMarsh has more than a decade of experience – from working on vegetable farms in Massachusetts, to wholesale produce sales and buying experience in the Philadelphia Area.
“The MARC is a great tool for farmers and importers to use because we speak produce. We know the language and make it as easy as possible for them. We work efficiently to handle any load that is delivered, and redistribute the produce to member food banks. Using the MARC is also attractive in terms of potential tax deductions and payment for product.”
