A Hub for Freshness
The Bache Warehouse at Merchant Crescent is a purpose-built facility designed to maintain the integrity of fresh produce from the moment it leaves the farm. Spanning a significant footprint near the Adelaide Produce Markets, this facility serves as our central hub for bulk receiving, quality inspections, and long-haul dispatch.
By keeping our warehouse operations separate from the market floor, we ensure a controlled environment where hygiene and temperature management are the top priorities.
Specialised Warehouse Services
The Science of Freshness Our Merchant Crescent facility is more than a storage hub; it is a specialised environment where produce is ripened, packed, and protected. We bridge the gap between the farm and the consumer, ensuring that every piece of fruit arrives in peak condition.
Climate-Controlled Ripening
We operate state of the art ripening rooms specifically for avocados and mangoes. By precisely managing ethylene levels, airflow, and humidity, our technicians can bring produce to the exact stage of ripeness requested by our retail partners, ensuring a "ready to eat" experience for the consumer.
Packing & Packaging Solutions
We transform bulk harvests into retail-ready products. From our sustainable cardboard "Pick Me" punnets to custom supermarket barcoding and labelling, punnets to own brand retail products, our packing lines are designed for speed and precision. We focus on eco friendly materials that protect the fruit while maximizing shelf appeal.
National Dispatch
As a central logistics hub, we specialize in high volume cross docking and interstate dispatch. We manage the complex loading requirements for refrigerated B-Doubles, ensuring that weight distribution and temperature airflow are optimized for long-haul travel across Australia.
Cold Chain & Storage
With multiple temperature controlled zones, we provide the ideal environment for a vast range of produce. Our facility maintains a strict cold chain from the moment of arrival, significantly extending the shelf life of the produce and reducing waste for both growers and retailers.
