The company was started by Anthony, Fred, and Tom DelBene in Detroit's Eastern Market and has been in business since 1988. It began with one truck and a small group of customers and has grown into an operation with a modern delivery fleet, now serving restaurants, institutions, and other businesses throughout Metro Detroit and across Michigan. Del Bene describes its core values as delivering quality products, providing exemplary service, and building long-term relationships with customers. It sources produce from Michigan farms, from around the country, and from around the globe, and says it works to keep customers informed on produce conditions as weather and market demand change. Its expanded warehouse facility includes a cooling system intended to keep produce fresh. Customers served include restaurants, conference centers, sports facilities, banquet halls, country clubs, and other food-service businesses. Del Bene positions itself as a partner to chefs and culinary teams rather than a simple supplier, with a sales team that works directly with each account. The company's location and mailing address is 2900 Rivard St, Detroit, MI 48207, and its main contact number is (313) 567-4658. The site does not publish additional company history, ownership structure, or headcount beyond what is described here.

According to Del Bene's published FAQ, deliveries in Detroit run six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Deliveries in Grand Rapids run three days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; Lansing and other markets farther from Metro Detroit are also served on a three-day-per-week schedule. A customer unsure whether a specific address is within Del Bene's delivery area is directed to contact customer service to confirm. Del Bene's location and mailing address is 2900 Rivard St, Detroit, MI 48207. The main phone number is (313) 567-4658. The company can also be reached through a contact form on its website, where a message can be categorized as Product Availability, Delivery Areas and Schedule, or Other. The site states its team is available from early morning until late in the evening, though it does not publish specific opening and closing hours. Orders are placed through a separate online ordering portal at orders.delbeneproduce.com after signing up for an account. Del Bene's contact page also lists specific holiday closures, including Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day; the exact calendar dates shown on that page correspond to a prior year, so a caller should confirm the current year's holiday closure dates directly with Del Bene rather than relying on the dates as published. Lists Ashburn, Granger, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Campbell as a location. Names Michigan and Detroit as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

PrimusGFS is a certification program recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) that audits operations for compliance with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), covering processes from pre- to post-farm-gate production. Del Bene's site notes that major retailers and food-service companies, including Walmart, Costco, and Sysco, recognize PrimusGFS certification. The site does not publish a certificate number, certifying body/auditor name, or certification date, and does not mention any other food-safety or organic certification (such as USDA Organic or PACA licensing) beyond PrimusGFS, so no additional certification should be assumed or stated. Del Bene pairs this certification with its farm-sourcing program, describing partnerships with Michigan growers it says share its standards for quality and sustainability. Its team reviews farming practices and conducts its own inspections of produce for texture, color, taste, and freshness before it reaches customers. In addition to local Michigan sourcing, Del Bene sources specialty and out-of-season items from suppliers around the world, which it says lets it offer items such as stinging nettles, papaya, and specialty mushrooms outside of Michigan's growing season. A customer asking about food safety or certification should be told specifically about the PrimusGFS certification described here, without adding any certification detail not stated on the site.

Per its published FAQ, a customer signs up for an account, then logs in to browse the online catalog and select items; local sales representatives are available to assist with setup or with placing an order. The site does not describe a phone-only or walk-in ordering process, and does not publish order minimums, delivery fees, or a price list, so specific pricing, quotes, or minimum order requirements should be directed to Del Bene's sales team rather than stated as fact. For support after an order is placed, Del Bene directs customers to contact their sales representative directly to resolve any issue as quickly as possible. General inquiries can go through the contact form on the website (categorized as Product Availability, Delivery Areas and Schedule, or Other) or by calling (313) 567-4658. Customers can also stay informed about new products and seasonal offerings by subscribing to Del Bene's weekly Market Report, which is available for download/subscription from the site, or by following the company on Instagram and Facebook. Del Bene's mailing address is 2900 Rivard St, Detroit, MI 48207.

Fruits and vegetables are sourced from both local Michigan farms and suppliers worldwide, and the company says items are picked at peak ripeness. Its specialty-items line, per Del Bene's published FAQ, includes exotic fruits, rare vegetables, gourmet cheeses, truffle products, edible flowers, microgreens, and pantry staples such as artisanal olive oils and balsamic vinegars. The company states it can also try to source a specialty item that is not listed on its website if a customer requests it through a sales representative or customer service. Del Bene's FAQ confirms that it offers a variety of organic and locally sourced produce, citing its partnerships with local Michigan farms as the source of that fresh, local selection; the site does not state that Del Bene itself holds a USDA organic certification, so that distinction should not be assumed. Michigan grower partners named on the site include Blue Harvest Farms, Blue Mittens Farms, Gass Farms, Rudich Farms, Tim Campbell Farms, Give and Grow Mushrooms, Guernsey Farms Dairy, H&W Farms, Van Dyke Farms, Alo Farms, Blake's Orchard, Leitz Farms, Ruhlig Farms, Saskatoon Michigan Farm and Nursery, Schwallier's Country Basket, Stoney Ridge Family Farm, and Werp Farms. A full catalog is available through Del Bene's online ordering system, and a weekly Market Report is available by subscription with seasonal and market updates.
