Why Foster Caviness? 

We are a different company.  We work to live and promote a People First mentality through our values of Promoting Trust, being Purposefully Collaborative, being Positively Impactful and doing what we say through Progressive Action.  We want to be a supply chain company that creates a legacy helping our people live their best lives and become the best versions of themselves.  We champion the underdog, giving opportunities to those that embrace our culture and strive to help us on this journey to be better each day.   We service our Military bases with fresh produce, we service our children with quality fruits and vegetables at their schools, and we provide food for a lot of the restaurants you may frequent.   But we also believe in being more – being a supply chain solutions company, providing value-added services, and helping others find success through our partnership.  We’re your neighbors – we live in the communities we serve and believe in giving back.

What We Offer:

We offer over 120 years of stability, community involvement and innovation.  We offer the opportunity to collaborate with some great people, all doing what they can to make us a better company.  So as a company, we work to offer a competitive wage and a competitive benefits package.   Most of our benefits, including Medical, Prescription, Dental, Vision, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, Supplemental Employee/Spouse/Child Life Insurance, 401k (with company matching funds) and Paid Time Off (PTO) program, are eligible for enrollment the first of the month following 30 days of employment!
