🐉 Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is in season! Originally cultivated by the Aztecs and now grown in tropical regions around the world, this vibrant fruit comes from a species of cactus and brings both visual impact and subtle sweetness to your kitchen. Use it in fruit-forward ceviche, chilled soups, sorbets, or sliced fresh for contrast on composed dishes.

Colby has been a key contributor to the FreshPoint team since August 2022. We think he is a great example of our value of “Drive Together,” which means working together to ensure our customers succeed and provide them with the necessary resources to thrive.

As Lead Driver, Colby not only leads the Raleigh transportation team with dedication but also steps in to support the Charlotte team whenever needed. His willingness to go above and beyond across the Carolinas shows what Drive Together is all about: achieving our goals together and celebrating as one.

Colby’s commitment to his team, our customers, and the FreshPoint mission speaks volumes about his character and leadership. Thank you, Colby, for all that you do every day—you help make FreshPoint a great place to be. Let’s give him a well-earned round of applause!
