Facility info

5-minute unloads. In/out typical window 4:30–5:15am. Fast unloading, no charges. Parking is tight. Limited to 3 trucks max. Street parking constrained; arrive early or expect tight spots. Avoid peak hours (9am reported as gridlock). Route matters. Take Damen exit off I-290 north to Walnut for driver-side backing. Skip Oakley exit. Narrow street with heavy car parking—blind-side backing difficult. Staff friendly and helpful. Operations run smooth. Temperature checks on refrigerated loads noted.

    I delivered in Taylor Farms, this place is a mess, honestly people are ok but the place is not for semi trucks,street is tight, full of cars parked on front of the docks and heavy traffic, not worth any money to come here,if you have the opportunity avoid this place save you some headaches and potentially problems.

    I must have come on a busy day. This place was an absolute circus when I arrived at 9am. Every semi truck and box truck in America decided to arrive at the exact same time. Cars parked all over the place making backing challenging if not impossible. Nowhere to really park except next to the abandoned gas station at the Walnut & Western intersection. It's recommended you take the Damen exit off 290 and follow it north to Walnut. That way you're able to driver side back although sometimes they'll load/unload from the street. There are other ways to get here but I wouldn't recommend them because you're either going to have to find somewhere to flip around or blind side back

    I bought boneless ribeyes from Pioneer and liked their product so much that I purchased a freezer in order to order more from them. Their Ribeyes beat Whole Foods by a mile.
