You don’t need to choose between high quality food and high profit margins
For too long food distributors (and retailers) have had to choose between food quality and profit margins.
Because our homestyle process use ingredients from the previous growing season we can keep your jams, salsas, and BBQ sauces looking and tasting great!
We keep your costs low (and profit margins high) by producing small batches and adjusting production based on your orders coming in. We don’t overproduce or saddle our wholesalers with wasteful overhead costs.
Everyone can win
Our goal is to help you win. Deliver high quality food to your customers. Increase your profits. Grow your business. Our internal motto when thinking about wholesalers is “When they make money, we make money.” and it’s at the center of how we do business.
Grow your profit margin
We believe in encouraging profitability and growth. That’s why our wholesale discount is structured in a way that allows new/small businesses to buy at profitable margins and established businesses to scale. Terms are available on a per customer basis.
Deliver food customers love
We hear it all the time, “When customers taste homestyle TDK products, they buy it.” We believe this is true because we only use the best ingredients and our small batch production helps it remain consistent from week to week and year to year.
Honest updates
In order for you to make the right business decision you need to have accurate information. When you’re buying products across state lines that gets even more important. We are committed to 100% transparency in all communications because we believe that’s the best way for everyone to win.
Tasty and vibrant foods without artificial colors and preservatives
Many jams, salsas, and BBQ sauces have great taste but include ultra-processed ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, and more. To provide great taste and bright colors, we only use food grown in the previous growing season.
When you buy food, you expect it to look and taste the same every time.
We agree! That’s why we only use fruits and veggies from the most recent growing season. In order to reduce costs, some food manufacturers will buy food from 2 years ago. While this reduces costs it also reduces the freshness of the food.
18 reasons wholesalers choose TDK
From the beginning, 18 years ago, our goal has been to excel at delivering the best tasting and looking food at profitable margins for wholesale customers.
We are not trying to grow our retail customers but are focused on wholesale customers and your success.
We know this can be a win-win situation. We don’t want to do retail. We want to make the best jams, salsas, and BBQ sauces without the harmful ultra-processed ingredients.

We know consistency matters
We know the frustration of opening a product and it not meeting expectation. It’s disappointing and feels like you got robbed.
That’s why we are careful to source ingredients from the previous growing season. Sometimes this means our costs are higher but the result is a food that consistently tastes great and has shelf appeal.
“As a foodservice distributor, we find our customers love the variety of jams, jellies, and salsas not just for resale, but as ingredients in an assortment of recipes and different culinary applications.”
