What their customers say
Quotes from people at Upper Lakes Foods's customers.
“Where Service Feels Like Family” Read”
“We love Upper Lakes Foods. Our sales rep Lynn C. goes all out to have us try new items and enhance what we currently have. She is not just our salesperson, she is an adviser and a member of our family! Speaking of family, it is Upper Lakes Foods. We have had deliveries by owners, managers, actually most of Upper Lakes Foods staff have dropped off some product! ULF is one big family! Also local works best for us!”
“Without the cooperation and dedicated employees we work wit at ULF, we at the Thirsty Pagan, would not be able to be in business. From helping us to finding cost of our final products to working with us on their prices, ULF has been a true business Champion. We regard them as our business partner, and can not exist without them or their services. We do not hold any punches in regard the help we need, and ULF always helps us. We do not abuse our relationship with ULF. Rather, we value being able to be in the food industry with such a good partner as ULF. We win and they win.”
“Thank you so much for being a consciously aware provider of local and sustainable foods. Through your thoughtful purchasing and sourcing, you have made it possible for us to source our small restaurant with the ingredients that are the flavors of The Watershed Café.”
