Why Temperature Precision Matters

Even a small deviation from the 32°F to 36°F range can cause significant quality degradation in berries. Temperature abuse can lead to accelerated microbial growth, texture changes, discoloration, and reduced shelf life. ArrowLane's reefer fleet uses advanced temperature control systems that maintain a variance of less than 2 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the entire transit, ensuring your berries arrives in optimal condition.
