After more than three decades of careful cultivation, the Riley family orchard is one of the largest collections of apple varieties in North America. Now a working cidery, it is finally bearing fruit.

Southern Specialties has a produce portfolio that includes baby squash, baby carrots and other baby vegetables, as well as broccolettes and clipped greens, all available under the company’s Southern Selects label.   Its main Southern Selects product is asparagus, which it grows, imports and markets in bulk presentations for retail and foodservice and is available in conventional, organic and in value-adding offerings in a variety of pack sizes.

Southern Specialties is a grower, importer, processor and shipper located in Pompano Beach, FL. The company imports a majority of its produce from the Americas, so it’s connection to Florida spring produce comes from its home for the most part.

Ever since Robert Colescott founded Pompano Beach, FL-based Southern Specialties in 1990, the company’s mission has been to provide the finest restaurants and hotels in the nation with the best service and highest quality specialty produce.  Over its more than three decades in business, the company has continued to provide these services, adding the leading retailers and club stores in North America to its mix.
