At Mike Pirrone Produce, the company prides ours... elves on being able to supply quality produce anywhere, in any quantity. If you need it, the company has the land and resources to make it happen. This coming season Pirrone Family Farms are actively growing rhubarb, green beans, cucumbers, cabbage, pumpkins, squash, gourds, eggplant, a variety of peppers, zucchini, carrots, corn, leafy greens, beets, and organic green beans. Bringing the freshest produce to the company's customers begins during the growing process. With this in mind, we've ensured that the company's growers use the latest in agricultural techniques, which maximize land use, making the company a national leader in the marketing of high quality produce. Updated farming techniques such as incorporating growing trellises for the company's cucumbers to keep them raised for better shape and cleaner product, planting rye in pumpkin fields to keep the pumpkins off the dirt, and using plastic culture to reduce the need for pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides are but a few examples of such innovations. These processes reduce the company's carbon footprint and increases the natural nutrients in the company's vegetables. The Great Lakes area offers warm days and cool nights which helps the company grow produce high in nutrition as well as taste, appearance, and shelf life.Read More
