Jimmy Erneston
President

Jimmy, like his father and grandfather before him, has spent the majority of his life in the produce business.  He and his brother, Jerry, formed J&J Produce in 1983.  Literally working out of the garage, they adopted a unique approach of supplying their former competition with vegetables directly from local farmers.  The business has grown rapidly since it was established resulting in several facility acquisitions to support the business.  Jimmy has spearheaded the growth of J&J from a small local supplier to one of the most respected businesses in the industry, supplying produce directly from farms to customers all over the country.  Today, J&J occupies three facilities in Florida and Georgia and has an in-state  presence in North Carolina and Michigan.
