Mike Pirrone Produce
Capac, MI

Mike Pirrone Produce, based out of southeast Michigan, is a family owned
business that has been growing and selling produce for over 60 years. What began as a
small mushroom farm has now grown into a 11,000 acre operation; with Pirrone
Family Farms farming 3,000 acres right in our backyard.
At Mike Pirrone Produce, we pride ourselves on being able to supply quality
produce anywhere, in any quantity. If you need it, we have 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 our customers begins during the growing
process. With this in mind, we've ensured that our 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 our 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 our
carbon footprint and increases the natural nutrients in our vegetables. The Great
Lakes area offers warm days and cool nights which helps us grow produce high in
nutrition as well as taste, appearance, and shelf life.

(PTI). With PTI consumers and customers can trace product back to the source. Mike
Pirrone Produce also follows a strict food safety program undergoing yearly 3rd party
