Zachary, Ray and Dawn Roch’s son, graduated from the University of Vermont where he double majored in Business & Entrepreneurship and minored in Nutrition.
Since opening their doors in 1954, Roch’s Fresh Foods has been committed to providing quality produce and friendly service to its community. Family owned and operated, we pride ourselves on our capability to provide the community with locally sourced fresh foods.
In the early 1930s, my Grandfather, Joseph Roch, started the family business – bringing the freshest fruits and vegetables to retail and foodservice customers all over southern New England. After 50 years of serving the West Warwick community through Roch's Fruit and Produce, we moved our wholesale business to a state-of-the-art HACCP certified distribution warehouse in West Greenwich, Rhode Island. In 2011 we opened Roch’s Fresh Foods, Narrangansett, a full-service specialty market that serves South County. And in March of 2023, we opened our second Roch’s Fresh Foods market adjacent to our wholesale operation in West Greenwich.
Ray’s worked part-time and summers in the family business since he was 12. The day after he graduated from St. Michael’s College in 1987, he started working full-time for Roch’s, and he’s still at it today.

We believe fresh, homemade food is cause for celebration. So, whether you're throwing a party for the happy couple or a new baby, hosting the extended family, or planning a business luncheon for 10 or 200, we'll help make it a deliciously memorable event.
Since 2006, we’ve helped school food service supplier Sodexo procure, process, and deliver fresh fruits and vegetables from local farms and out-of-state purveyors to local elementary schools. What started with delivery to two local elementary schools is now an ever-growing production and delivery service to 71 cafeterias throughout Rhode Island.
Roch's recently won a near $89,000 USDA Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP) Grant that will help expand our farm-to-school and farm-to-institution programs — giving more kids and people in the community more access to delicious, fresh food.
