WE ARE NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR A DISPATCHER, BUT WE ALWAYS ACCEPT APPLICATIONS AND RESUMES FOR FUTURE POSITIONS.

Lancaster Farm Fresh Organics' mission is to support the 120 small, local farms of Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative, by delivering their freshly picked produce to wholesale markets and CSA members with as little turnaround time as possible. We ship predominately organic produce, as well as other perishable food products.
